Central Christian Quotes

Head Coach Cole Ouren
"First, we want to thank all the fans and alumni who came out to support the team. It is always fun to play in front of a crowd, specifically when they braved the weather conditions."
"This is hard game to accept as I felt that we were the better team throughout the duration of the game. The girls did a great job starting the game and giving us a 2-0 lead. While we allowed MACU to get back into the game, I am extremely proud of how they responded. After going down a goal, they responded to the challenge and gave themselves a chance to get back into the game. This is a difficult task to achieve, yet our girls have continued to rise to the occasion. Unfortunately today, we fell a little short and ran out of time. We will now look to put this game behind us as quickly as possible as we look to prepare for Wayland on Wednesday."
