QUOTABLES
"It was a very, very difficult, hard-fought win. We did just enough in the end, had a great finish from Logan Dix, and the way we defended to hold the lead and get the clean sheet was great," said head coach Ciaran Traquair. "Our challenge to the team was to set the tone and make this place a difficult place for other teams to come in and play at, and I feel like they did that today. I'm super proud because (North Dakota) had not been shutout or defeated so far this year. So for us to compete against a very solid Division I team that was very good at certain things, I think that gave us a very good boost of confidence."

NEXT UP
The Bulldogs will continue the current three-game homestand with a game against Navy on Sunday, Sept. 1. The game will be played on Summerall Field, The Citadel's parade ground. Kickoff will be at 12 p.m.
