From Head Coach Wes Hart

"I was pleased with our performance tonight. Even though we dominated possession and territory, North Alabama did a great job of crowding the box and not giving us wide-open looks. Once again, Riley Parker scored a huge goal for us and it was great to see Gessica rewarded with a goal. She's done such an incredible job of providing attack out of the back. For the third game in a row, Reyna Reyes scored a goal. We are scoring goals in a variety of ways. I was very happy to get the shutout tonight, and a lot of players were able to contribute on both sides of the ball. I feel we are in a very good place heading into SEC play."
