Post-Match Quotes
Head Coach Keidane McAlpine 
On the match tonight…
“What a game. I have to first start by thanking the crowd. They showed up. They gave us energy. They brought it. For the first day of school and everything, it was an awesome, great game. I thought we played well. For large portions of the game, we were in control. I thought we got a little impatient in the final third, but to have as many young players out there and get their first taste of what this is, I thought we did a really good job.”

On her approach to her first game representing Georgia…
“First game as a freshman, it’s not going to be easy, it’s not going to be smooth sailing, but I woke up this morning knowing I have my team, and they all have faith in me to do what I need to do. And I have faith in them that they’ll be in front of me. I had a great back line for me tonight; every single person put their all on the field.”
