Coach Amy Vaughan –  The girls showed a lot of character in today's game. On the road against Tampa, to finish out SSC play is a very difficult task to overcome. We're extremely proud of the group and the resilience they are showing, they stuck together and left everything out on the field.

The Sharks will gear up for the SSC tournament, which is set to begin on Monday, November 6th.
