"Today we showed heart, we showed grit, and we battled until the last minute of the match. I know this team wishes we could have those first 25 minutes of the game back, truth is we can't, but we battled to fight our way back into this match. We are excited for our next match, so we can tap into the heart, drive, and passion that we started to see today." -Nichols head coach Karen Gurnon
