QUOTES
Southeastern head coach Chris McBride:
   "It was a good game tonight. We fought well. I thought we moved the ball really well and created some opportunities. We had a couple of opportunities in front of the goal. The girls defensively were solid. We didn't give up any chances except for that penalty kick. All in all, it was a solid performance. We're really proud of the girls and their effort. They are showing they are going to be a team that is going to develop through the year and get better as the year goes on. That's what we are looking forward to right now. It's early but we're getting better every performance."
