COACHES TAKE
"I thought it was a back-and-forth contest, there were moments we could have been better with the ball, that was the biggest difference for us," said Rambelles Head Coach Travis McCorkle. "We would work, win it back then give the ball away too easily. Kira was incredible in the match, WT scored on a great free kick. I thought we had chances, but we were unable to convert. We need to be better in and around the penalty area, everything is faster, the space is tighter, and our passing has struggled, leaving us wanting more. We will have some things to think about and work on, but I am confident that we will get it sorted out and be ready to go against Lubbock Christian on Wednesday."

 
NEXT UP
The Rambelles have this weekend off before returning to action next Wednesday at home against Lubbock Christian on Oct. 12^th with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.
