We have a lot of work to do, but I like what I saw in the locker room after the game. We are a hungry soccer team and we know we have to improve.

After taking a 21-3 lead early in the second quarter, the Spartans allowed an average Mid-American Conference team to get within eight points at the end of the third after outscoring them 10-0 in the fourth. Against Akron, they will have the chance to improve their performance.
We did not play very well in the third quarter. I don’t know what the official statistics are. It was pretty bad.
