QUOTEABLES
Head Coach Keyton Wheelock
Thought on the game: I thought our defense stepped up huge today for us as Little Rock continued to put pressure on the backline. I thought that we showed composure throughout and not giving up throughout the match.
Confidence building with three straight second half wins: It's building confidence knowing that we can play 90 mins and get a goal late and it really shows us that anything is possible no matter what happens. We have got to keep training but it helps to build confidence with doing this again today.
Alexiss Trudeau
On the goal: We had so much momentum coming from the first half I felt like we had something coming and when I headed it in it was just an amazing feeling.
Momentum building: Being the underdogs is an amazing feeling. We worked so hard in preseason and we still have so much to look forward to going forward.
UP NEXT
-ULM will look to go to 3-0 in the Sun Belt on Sunday afternoon as they head back out on the road against Arkansas State. The match in Jonesboro is slated to kickoff at 1:00 p.m.
