WORDS FROM THE WARHAWKS
"Congratulations to Christian Brothers on a great battle," said head coach Matthew Thorne. "We are disappointed to concede the lead after we got a great goal from Aris. The Gulf South Conference is one of the toughest conferences in the country, and if you do not play for a full 90 minutes, you can get punished. But now we move on and shift all of our focus onto our recovery and a tough opponent next Friday night."
UP NEXT
The Warhawks remain at home to take on nationally ranked Lee (Tenn.) University on Friday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. at the AUM Soccer Complex.
