Quotes
“We challenged our group from a mentality standpoint and they really stepped up,” said head coach Erin Chastain. “Obviously, we wanted to win the game and had chances at the end, we threatened them with corner kicks and transition moments, but we didn’t capitalize. We’ll take the point on the road and focus on one game at a time. I thought we could have connected more and done some things from a soccer perspective better, but it’s a Sunday game in the Big Ten on the road. That’s hard to do, so we’ll take the point.”
