  • "Really big win today. I think we showed a lot of character, especially when Georgia State got the goal in the second half to make it 2-1. The momentum of the game changed a lot, and we really had to dig in and put our bodies on the line. Everybody is dealing with injuries at this stage of the season, but those players stepped in today, and the energy off the bench was excellent. Georgia State is a fantastic team, but we are going to enjoy this one and get ready for Wednesday."
