Head Coach Richard Moodie:
"We had a tough game at home Thursday and then left at four in the morning the following day to fly to the furthest away team, and to put on the performance we did today, is unbelievable. It just speaks volumes to how well we, South Alabama, look after our student-athletes with the demands of the schedule we have had and trying to make sure we have our physical and mental health at the forefront. The girls were phenomenal considering all the odds were stacked against us with some of the trips we have had to take. I think we have done an unbelievable job and we are more than happy with the game. We did not concede a shot on goal, that paints a pretty good picture. Really happy and I think we have improved since Thursday. We have to go back to the drawing board and get ready for another big week."
