QUOTEABLES
Head Coach Keyton Wheelock
Thought on the game: Arkansas State worked extremely hard and stayed organized. I was pleased that Cke'lana was able to get thru and slot the ball Mia ran on to. Good to see our strikers link up. We again had two very different halves but I'm pleased with our work ethic. Scroggins pulled off a few big saves that could have completely changed the game. Now we prepare for two extremely tough opponents next weekend.
UP NEXT
-The Warhawks return to the ULM Soccer Complex next week as they welcome in South Alabama next Friday afternoon. The match against the Jaguars will kick off at 4:00 p.m.
