Coachs Remarks
"It was a tougher game than the scoreline indicated. We played well in periods and took our chances well in the first half. However, we also had periods when we weren't as composed as we wanted."
"More games will help us build chemistry on the field, particularly as we integrate new players into the group. I'm pleased with the win, but know that we can get better."
Team Results
  • Carthage will host Trine at Art Keller Field on Sunday, September 10 at 1 p.m.
