QUOTABLE:

“We were a tough team to watch today. Almost unrecognizable at times. We fell into a kicking game for spells of the game, which does not play to our strengths and gave the ball away too much. Our decisions under pressure have to be better. Credit to Charleston Southern they found the back of the net and managed the rest of the way.”-Head Coach Michelle Demko
