Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"I'm happy with the effort the girls gave today. They worked incredibly hard. Maybe a little too hard at points and we just didn't see the fruits of that effort. They've been pushing really hard and while we obviously wanted to go into a break on a high note, I think the girls will use this as we prepare for next semester. Hats off to Alaska on a great match. We're looking forward to some rest and gearing up for the championship season. Hail Southern!"
