Quotable: Head Coach
Jonathan Meade
"It was definitely a hard fought match between two teams that wanted to go on and continue their season. They had the run of play in the first half, but we were fortunate to pick it up in the second half and get that equalizer.
"Hanna (Harris) is an amazing goalkeeper and an even better person. That's how we feel about all of our seniors. We wouldn't have been able to do what we did this year and accomplish what we did without them.
"We had a handful of seniors that weren't even able to play this year and they still had a huge impact on our team. Bigger than the game of soccer is from a spiritual standpoint and an eternal standpoint. Our underclassmen and the coaching staff are all better people for having the chance to work with our seniors."
Five Facts:
- Harris finished her career with 29 shutouts - 13 more than any other Lady Jacket keeper.
- Freshmen and sophomores scored 18 of the team's 20 goals this season.
- The Lady Jackets were 5-2 in seven home matches.
