Head Coach Jared Ambrose: "Tough game. Always tough coming in here to play. UNH is one of those tradition-laden places where it always seems like you're playing more than the 11 guys on the field… We need to play better. There were too many crucial moments where we had self-inflicting wounds. Dropped balls, missed tackles, penalties on touchdown plays."
