QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH NICK COWELL
"I thought we came out with good intensity and energy in the first half. Our goal was to put the game away early, and although it didn't happen we kept the pressure on them. Our goal was to not allow them any chances and we did that."
Sophomore Midfielder MADISON TUMICKI: "Our goal was to be undefeated in conference play at the end of the season, and so far we are 3-0. It's good momentum and we just have to keep pushing ahead."
