QUOTABLES
Head Coach Keyton Wheelock
Thought on the game: I'm pleased Cke'Lana got one today and am pleased with how we battled through adversity that hit us throughout the game. We battled through today and got the result. I am thrilled with how our striker's movement was but we still have to be more clinical in front of net.
Second Half Success: It's encouraging to see us put together a second 45 that is when people are normally tired and dying out and we were able to put it together today.
Cke'Lana Caesar
Thought on goal: I was very excited to take advantage of my opportunity and put the ball in the back of the net. We have all been working hard and it was really exciting to get that goal and get the win.
UP NEXT
-The Warhawks will finish the weekend out on Sunday afternoon hosting Central Arkansas with opening kick slated for 1pm at the ULM Soccer Complex.
