Doug Mello said.
The Saints came out and set the tempo early, quickly scoring and taking the pressure off. In the ninth minute of the game
Paolo Georgiades scored on a header off an assist from
Ben Dagg. Just three minutes later,

"Our biggest thing for today was to play hard and keep our level high," Mello said. "I think we accomplished that."
Looking into the games ahead Mello said, "Now we got to step it up. Rocky is a Top 25 team, Providence is probably our biggest rival, so it's a good way to prepare for those matches by playing well today, but our level is going to have to improve."
