COMMENTS FROM COACH REUTEMANN:
"That was a really fast and high-tempo game. I was proud of the groups intensity before and during the game. With a team like Hartwick who comes at you in waves and does such a good job of spreading you out with the ball, I thought we were excellent to cover the spaces in transition. Some early cautions changed the dynamic of the midfield position and I was impressed with Derek Fuentes and Justin Huallanca who stepped up to the task. I know we would like some of the chances we missed back but we will use them as reminders to be just that much better next time. Although this was a loss, it is a big step forward in terms of small improvements from our last game. We must be at our very best come Saturday's NAC opener."
UP NEXT FOR THE BRONCOS
Delhi Men's Soccer will look forward to their North Atlantic Conference match of the season, traveling to SUNY Poly on Saturday, September 13th.
