From Head Coach Travis McCorkle: "It was a good performance. Eastern New Mexico got a lot of new players on their roster. They were similar to us in that aspect because we have many new players on our roster and playing significant minutes. I thought we did great by breaking them down early and being able to get that goal it put us in a great position for the remainder of the game. Very proud defensively of being able to not allow a single shot in the second half. We are proud of the players for not stopping after the second goal, but kept fighting, seeing Mariah hungry to get us that goal. Happy to see Grace of the Snide she hasn't scored all year just really happy with the result today."
