HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head men's soccer coach Adam Potter on what he has liked from his defense so far this season:

"Defensively we know to defend first above everything else," Potter said. "Then attack. It has been awesome to see guys step up into big roles as we lost two starters early in the game today. That's a sign of a good team."

Potter on how his team will look to finish the road trip:

"Key is simple," Potter said. "Stay composed and remember what it means to be a Hawk. We know we are about to walk into another battle in another hostile environment."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will finish the trip against John Wood Community College at 11 a.m. Monday in Quincy, Illinois.
