Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"I'm really happy with another strong performance from the girls today. Abby and I continually preach controlling the controllables and being able to perform consistently on demand. The girls have worked their tails off putting this into practice and today we were able to see it come through in a match. Hats off to Ole Miss today, they shoot some really good air gun. I'm looking to taking this energy into tomorrow and finish the trip how we started. Hail Southern."
