CONFER'S CORNER
"Sunday games on the road are tough and we knew Winthrop would be fresh because they didn't play on Friday. Our girls really worked hard on both sides of the ball. Getting the early goal was nice and Krista did a great job finishing it. We are still growing as a team as well as learning and improving in each game."
