Bulldogs' linebacker Melchi Reeves had this to say about preparing against Curry College this Saturday.
“It means a lot; we need to execute more in practices and in games. We have not been good at executing calls or doing the simple things. We need to get back to it and focus on the little things,” Reeves said.
The Bulldogs will face Curry College on Saturday on the road at noon looking to get their second win of the season.
