THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Richard Moodie
- On the result: "I thought offensively we looked good, however I think defensively we made it a little difficult for ourselves. We'll take the clean sheet and it was great to see Kailey Littleford back on the score sheet."

- On the win streak: "We've got good depth in the squad and I think that's been something we've been dying to have for the last couple of years. We've had a little bit of consistency and we're up and running, but at the same time we've got to keep wanting to get better. We know what's important and we have to finish the season strong now."

- On Kailey Littleford: "The last two weeks in training for her have been really good. She's been one of the top players and she's been trying to breakthrough into the lineup. She came on today and made the most of her minutes and she's getting back to where she was, if not better."

Kailey Littleford 
- On the result: "As a team we were all exhausted, we played Thursday at Appalachian State and got a win before we came out here. Honestly, without my team I couldn't have done what I did and I'm thankful for everyone. We all did our best, but now we have a new week and we got to go back again."

Deanna Green
- On setting a school record: "It's an honor, I feel like I've been here forever and Coach Moodie asked me to come back this year. I feel very grateful to have the extra year, it's really special to me."
