QUOTABLES

"I thought we came out very flat tonight. When you do that in games where the stakes are higher, teams will punish you and that's exactly what happened tonight. Credit to High Point. They came out ready for a 90 minute battle and put us on our heels right away. We will regroup, get back to the drawing board and get ready for Coastal (Carolina).” - Head Coach Michelle Demko
