Game Vitals

Final: Mars Hill 1, Southern Wesleyan 0

Records: Southern Wesleyan (1-1), Mars Hill (1-1)

Coach Morrell says…

"We started out really sluggish.  Seems it took most of the first half to find any rhythm.  But the second half was much better and I love that we fought until the final whistle.  We created a number of great chances, but couldn't get one in.  But proud of the girls for continuing to press and stay with it."
