WORDS FROM THE WARHAWKS
"We did not show up in the first half," said head coach Julianne Herrity. "There is really no other way to put it. And you can not do that against a team like West Florida. We had a much better second half and I thought we had some good performances off the bench [in that second half]. We need to really focus in and have a positive reaction on Sunday."
