QUOTEABLE
Head coach Sheila McGill's thoughts on today's tie.
"We held zeros on the scoreboard having lost to these guys 4-1 last season, which means that we made progress. We could have and should have put more together. On the day it is a learning opportunity, we have a lot of people on the field that are new or haven't played in a while. Overall we look to build on today."
UP NEXT
St. Thomas will be back home at South Field August 28, to face the University of Northern Iowa Panthers. Kickoff is set for 4:00 p.m.
