"I don't have words to describe the match. One of the most epic matches I've ever been a part of, ever. The drama, thirteen rounds of penalty kicks. Incredible. My heart is still racing. I thought Thea was phenomenal in the shootout, and Sage, Syd and Ana all converted two penalties, ice runs through their veins. Amazing team performance, and now the chance to play in the semis and potentially avenge our loss to Prairie View from earlier in the season. They are a good team with a top coaching staff. It should be a thrilling contest. The fact that we get to play an additional 90 minutes and spend more time together as a team is the big thing. The cardiac kids keep it exciting but they are doing JSU proud."
