QUOTE OF THE GAME
"UTPB worked extremely hard and very well could have earned a result today. I thought we moved the ball much better today and had some better movements in the attacking third. We have a strong mentality and still have much to improve on. Adrianna had a great weekend and was involved in the goal Friday night and scored a bomb today." – Head coach
