Monmouth's Luke Bromley headed in a corner from John Antunes for the game's lone score in the 56^th minute of action.

"It's still early, but there were many bright spots in our game the other day with UConn and tonight there were some big positives as well," said head coach Dan Donigan. "We need to focus on little key things, but I liked our fight and our organizational defense. 

"Obviously we know what happened and now we can concentrate on what is next and that is our trip Wake Forest and North Carolina coming up next week."
