Quotable
> "Kudos to ODU. They defended incredibly well and disrupted our attack, so we struggled to convert on some of the chances we had. We broke them open in the second half, but by that point it was too late. We had moments of greatness, but just couldn't capitalize. Today's result doesn't define our season, but unfortunately it means that the season is over. This is not the outcome that we wanted but I'm super proud of this group for the season as a whole." – head coach Michelle Vittese
