BROWNING'S BULLETS: "I think today we played very well for this being our first match outside. The transition went very well. I was very impressed with everyone's focus that everyone had today from the very first point. This was a good match to get us prepared for our next conference match which will be VCU. They are still one of the best teams in the conference and we are really looking forward to Saturday."
UP NEXT: The Colonials will travel to Richmond to go head-to-head with VCU on Saturday at noon.
