Head Coach Eric Bell on First NCAA Win
"It's a big accomplishment for us…its history. The first of hopefully many more to come. A big reason why I came here was to build a program that could be nationally prominent, and this is the first step in doing that. I'm very proud of our group and what we've been able to accomplish since 2012."
Messiah Bright on Scoring the First Goal
"It honestly flashed. Kari passed me the ball, I made a run in and honestly I wasn't going to shoot it at first but then Yazmeen yelled 'shoot it,' so that's what I did."
Yazmeen Ryan on Scoring the Game-Winning Goal
"I was looking for them to take that extra touch and as soon as they did, I knew I had to pressure there. Luckily I got the steal and then was able to get in on my right foot and place it in the goal."
Bell on Second Half Success
"We were able to come out and play TCU Soccer in the second half. We really got after them and created some goal scoring opportunities, and fortunately for us we were able to put a couple away."
"It's all about attention to detail. We had a good understanding of what we were trying to do in the first half, but we had to tweak a few things. Once we did that, we were all right."
Bright on Halftime Adjustments
"First half for me was a little shaky. It was my first NCAA game, so I was a little nervous. The halftime talk with our coaches gave me confidence to go out and play better."
Ryan on Halftime Adjustments
"In the first half it's all about getting those nerves out quickly and I think that was something that I struggled with. Before the coaches came in, our seniors were talking about how we were still in it and that the first half doesn't define us. I just knew that we had to come out strong and show what we could do."
Bell on Moving Forward
"They have to believe in themselves, know that they're a good team, and walk on the field expecting to win. If we do that, I think we'll be successful."
Ryan on the Crowd's Impact
"It hypes us up even more. It's so amazing and we love our fans."
