COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Huntington was hard fought battle. Very aggressive game, but once again showed our dominance at home and the ability to finish a game against a good WV opponent. Well deserved win.”
“… Belfry and Pike was a long day with travel and heat but we took care of business on the road with a total of 20 goals. Both games ended before regular time.”
“… And Tuesday night was a memorable night for myself, our girls but most importantly the program. Russell is always a good team and the fact we came to their home field and came away with the victory just speaks volumes of this team, their heart and talent.”
“… Super proud of them and gives us some big momentum going into postseason play. Like I told the girls before the game, we have an opportunity tonight to prove who we are and we did it! “
