Coach's Quotes

"Tough home loss, played against a strong Florida Tech team. They defended very well and looked to beat us on the counter. We said at halftime the only way they were going to score was on a set piece or from a counter over the top. I couldn't really see the penalty too much, so I don't want to comment, but I can't say that cost us the game when we clearly outshot them. We didn't play to our potential. It was tough to lose at home, I think we've learned a few things. We will rebound and start again on Saturday." 

For the Opponent

  • Misner's goal was her first of the season on just her fourth shot of the season. A junior defender, collected her second career goal Wednesday night.
