QUOTES

Harding head coach Jon Ireland: "The guys played really well today. Cooper played a great game and got the game winner filling in for an injured defender. Anytime you can win on the road that is huge. They beat us 4-1 last year so it was great to get the result today. It was very windy which effected the game but we stayed focused throughout. I am so proud of this team and their fight."
