THE GRAY AREA
Marshall Coach Bob Gray on the Old Dominion Game:
"It was a pretty good match actually, pretty even statistically. We had just as many good looks as they had. We got unlucky to get a penalty on an errant handball for their first goal and then they were able to score late, but we played them very tough."

"It was a result that as I told the guys after the game I was disappointed after the FAU loss and I wasn't as disappointed with this result, because we battled them throughout and gave them a good game all the way through."
