"Today was a great start for us." Longacre said. "Davidson was a tough team and put a lot of pressure on us, but I was happy with how our team adjusted and made it work. Lots of great moments all over the field offensively and defensively. Always things we can improve on and work on, but we are taking each game and growing from them."
