What Eagles head coach Sean McCaffrey said:
"The team is always happy to play on campus and in front of their fans. Having an opportunity to welcome some strong teams to campus like Charleston and UNC-Wilmington will do a lot to help the women prepare for conference matches. With just one week away from the beginning of conference play, all of the ladies are doing their best to make sure they are prepared to take on the Sun Belt competition."
"I am hoping that with the final four matches before Louisiana and ULM arrive, we are beginning to hit our stride and ready to battle."
 
Up Next:
The team hosts the next four matches beginning with Toledo March 11 at 2:00 p.m.
