HEAR IT FROM THE HOUNDSHead coach
Holly Cox: "Emma was excellent for us in goal. She made some great stops on some set pieces and corner kicks and our kids really fed off of that, especially in the second half. We just didn't do what we needed to do offensively to give her some support. But I was pleased with the way we battled and we had some chances with some of our set pieces. The ball just didn't find the back of the net."
"We need to figure out how to get more clear cut opportunities up top and we have to keep gridning in these games. The great thing about the GLVC is that if you show up on any given day and you want it more, you can get the result you want."
UP NEXTUIndy looks to snap a three-game slide on Sunday afternoon against the Tritons of Missouri-St. Louis in another GLVC showdown. Start time is set for 1:00 p.m. EST.
