Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Mat Dunn said, "Very pleased to bounce back after a defeat to No. 1 William Carey. We traveled 10 hours back from Orange Beach, Alabama and had two practices before traveling eight hours to Atlanta for today's game. I am very pleased with how the girls handled that. Georgia Gwinnett is a tough place to come and play at but we stood up to the test. We would of liked more goals but happy with the clean sheet. It's a quick turn around for us as we play Life tomorrow."
