QUOTABLES
“"Tough numerical result tonight but I thought we had a huge effort and played better than giving up 5 goals. North Dakota State was a very good passing team. One of the better teams we have played since I've been here. This game was exactly what we wanted before heading into conference play next Saturday. We want to be stretched in our non-conference play so we can continue to grow and be ready for Big South conference play. We have our last non-conference game Sunday against Alabama A&M. They are athletic so tomorrow is about rest and recovery before we turn our focus toward that game." – Head Coach Michelle Demko
UP NEXT
The Bulldogs will host Alabama A&M at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18, at Greenwood Field in their last non-conference match of 2016.
