COACHES TAKE
"I liked from about 15 minutes into the first half till the end of the first half, I thought we played well, keeping the ball, knocking it around, causing problems," said Rambelles Head Coach Travis McCorkle. "I felt like the start of the game and the way we closed out the second half were problematic moving forward, we kept didn't keep the ball very well and just kept dumping it. Our last match is very important, everything is in our hands to stay in the number two spot. Midwestern State needs a result to solidify their place in the tournament, so they have a lot to play for and that will be great experience for us moving forward." McCorkle on Miller breaking the all-time saves record, "Kira brings confidence, she just does not make mistakes, she brings stability and calmness to what we are doing at the back. Everybody believes she can make the save and she believes she can make the save, we are very fortunate to have her."
