Coach Thoughts:

Head Coach Adam Clay said afterward, "Despite having two goals called back and being forced to win the game in OT, the girls kept the ball extremely well and created plenty of dangerous scoring chances.  I am so proud of how they responded after our first loss of the season.  It showed our team character and gets me excited about the possibilities this season."
