From Travis McCorkle:Â
Q: What did you think of the game after the 2-2 draw? I thought we had a really good start to the game with a nice goal from Sanai being 1-0 it's always good being up early especially on the road. Midwestern State did good a good job coming back in the last part of the first half scoring the goal it was a great shot I can't discredit that. In the second half I thought we sat to deep and tried to defend and I thought we were struggling for a good portion of the second half. Putting
Abby James back in for about the last 15 minutes really helped us control the ball better in the midfield. It was a tough game, so I'm not upset with a 2-2 draw on the road against one of the best teams in the conference and the number one team in the region.
