HEAD COACH CHRISTIAN MICHNER
"I'm so proud of this team. It's not easy to play at your best under these circumstances and I really want to give so much credit to the girls for being resilient throughout the 90 minutes. Winthrop is a good team and pushed us to be at our best. Happy with this win but our minds are definitely in Charleston with the folks there. We are praying that our beautiful city comes through okay."
