COACHES CORNER -
Pleased with the effort from our team today, after a tough stretch of games. Started a bit slow but really proud that the group came together at halftime and were determined to get the goal back and they found the goal late in the match to level things up and then looked threatening in both overtimes. Everybody wants to win but earning another result on the road is something this team has consistently done this season. Looking forward to a little rest as we prepare for BYU next week on the road.
Co Head Coaches Danesha Adams and J.J. Wozniak.
UP NEXT – The Tigers are back on the road next weekend as they travel to BYU on October 16th. Kick off will be at 6 PM on the south field.
