FROM COACH DOMINGUEZ:

• The ladies played with heart and passion today and we had a couple chances on goal. We were just not able to find the back of the net.
• It's all a forward process from here as each game is a lesson to learn.
• Aylin Pereyra and Angelina Escobar played well today. They were able to find space in between Belhaven's midfield line.
• We will adapt and bounce back next Thursday.

The Lobos fall to 1-4 and 0-3 in conference play. Belhaven moves to 6-2-1 and 1-1-1.

Sully next plays Mary Hardin-Baylor on Thursday, October 7 in Belton.
