Coach's Corner
Head CoachÂ
Mat Dunn said, "This was not a pretty game but it was a fair result. A lot of credit to Warner as they had a great season and were able to sit in and made it difficult to break down. We were patient today and it was good to get Emma back out after missing the past few games and pick up a goal. Amanda picked up an injury before the game but we were able to use our depth today to help us through and it shows we don't have to rely on her for goals. Analissa stepped up big off the bench and
Cooper Mullins held down the line for us. Now we turn our attention to the championship game and defending our title at home."
Up Next
With the win, the Seahawks advance on to the championship match on Friday in West Palm Beach. KU will take on the winner of Southeastern University and St. Thomas University at 11:00 a.m.
