QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH NICK COWELL
"First of all, we have to stop giving teams a chance right at the start of the match. However, in the second half, I thought we had the better play, were more fit, and had better team tactics than they did. In the end, I thought we were the better team, but Lubbock Christian played well."
 
On the play of senior JENNIFER BOUDREAU: "Jennifer came here as a defender and is a great defender. We are able to use her speed at the forward position. She is strong on the ball and very direct. The way that we play, she fits nicely up top."
