Quotes of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
On the team's resiliency:
"The elements were tough and we were down a couple players, but credit to our group for believing. Getting the first goal early in the second was huge. That gave them hope and belief. The (Olivia) Halser goal was awesome and then Grace (Collins) finished it off in overtime.
We have an experienced team. They are older and have been tested in a lot of ways. That allows them to draw on experience. I think also, knowing that they are talented lends to the belief. They are able to say, we are okay, just keep playing."
On being down and coming back
"We have to fall back on culture. That's what it's all about and what we are all about. Handling adversity. It's the next-man up mentality. We have some good players on our team. We are pretty deep and I think that showed up today. I'm really proud of the grit we showed today."
On the first half
K-State come out and did what they needed to do. They pressured us and put us in some bad situations and took advantage of it by scoring a couple goals.
