QUOTABLES
"Huge difference in our effort today. I thought we did well to influence the game on the attacking side with our movement and speed of play. We were a bit unlucky converting the opportunities today, but I was pleased with our effort for the full 90. This is a more difficult non-conference schedule that we've seen in a number of years. We play teams like Kennesaw so we can be prepared for a higher speed of play and athleticism. In order to grow we must be in that type of environment on a daily basis."– Head coach Michelle Demko
