Central Christian Quote:
Head Coach Cole Ouren:

"We've been battling injuries and adversity throughout the year and this continued during our time in Texas. However, in the face of adversity and a disappointing loss on Wednesday, the girls continued to show their grit and character with a great performance this afternoon."

"We started the game off really well but went down early in the first half off an unfortunate own goal. The girls on the sideline came up big with a loud and positive presence that aided the success on the field. In spite of dominating possession and shots on goal, we were unable to find the back of the net. The girls showed a great deal of composure and patience and were rewareded for that as well as their attacking persistence with a late goal in the second half by Sam Carachure. Thankfully it did not take one in overtime for Alexa Riddle to net a deserving game winner!"

"I am extremely proud of all the players. Everyone stepped into their role and performed at a high level."

Go Tigers!
