Haines on Last Time
"First half was a little bit slow out of the gates, just the tempo of the game, then we took a little bit of time to get in a rhythm and start creating chances and get into the flow of the game," Coach Zach Haines after the 3-0 win. "Once we did we found the goal and didn't really concede much in the way of chances and then in the second half we turned it up. We were outstanding in every phase of the game, we created tons of chances, scored good goals, and were dominant with and without the ball. Incredibly proud of the second half, how we grew into the game but overall anytime you can come to Presbyterian and get a convincing result you're super happy."
Keep Holden' On
Holden Trent is tied for fourth in the nation in shutouts with five on the year. Trent added his fifth last Wednesday as the Panthers shutout the Blue Hose 3-0.
