From Head Coach Wes Hart 

“Great performance tonight versus a very good LSU side. We showed a lot of grit and fight tonight. Awesome response after giving up the equalizer to come back and score the game winner late, and then [have] some incredible defensive plays in the box to close the game out.”

• Alabama and LSU would finish the match tied 12-12 in shots with both teams tallying four shots in the first half and eight shots in the second
