POSTGAME QUOTES

CSUEB head coach Robin Hart following Saturday's match on the difference in her team's performance and the response after Thursday's performance:
"We come back with the details. Playing with little details making sure we are taking care of business with nothing big, but just little changes."

Morgan Pearson after the match:
"We worked together. Definitely time management. Working together was the most important piece because we would just have individual moments like you're not really benefitting each other. Hard work, picking each other up, constant communication."
 
Pearson added:
"I just think that we did great. I think goals happen, not just from an individual person. I think they are created by everyone on the team, everyone on the field, everyone puts in the hard work, everyone works together and that way the goal is ours rather than just one person's, so I'm proud of us and [there are] many more wins to come."
