HEAD COACH JEN DYSON'S COMMENTS

• "This past weekend was a battle of wills. Saturday we were dealt with a downpour against Illinois College. There were several great opportunities we did not finish, but I loved the resiliency the team showed. We played the full 90 minutes and persevered to get a goal in the final moments of the game."
• "Sunday was another competitive matchup, and our group played incredibly disciplined. Rhodes is a strong team and we did well challenging their front line and forcing them to adapt their attack."
• "We now shift our attention to another fun and upcoming weekend of games.
