Coaches Quote
"I'll give credit to UMSL's goalkeeper, it was absolutely the best goalkeeping I've ever seen in my time in collegiate soccer. It would be easy for us to think we could have won the game 4-0 or 5-0, but we have to put the ball in the back of the net," head coach Scott Gyllenborg said. "This feels great now because the seasons been up and down. But we need to remember we have one game left, there are still bigger things on the horizon, and continue to improve."
