Post-Match Quotes:
Head Coach Keidane McAlpine
On today's match...
"Crazy game. That was a normal SEC game right there, a lot of fight, a lot of energy, both teams getting chances, and both teams creating moments. All in all, I thought it was a good game I thought we left a couple out there and I'm sure they feel the same way. You hate the draw, but the crowd gave us some energy. We had some fight, we pushed back, we got a result, and I'll take it."

On the team's result...
"I mean we have to give Alabama some credit. They came here and competed tonight; they have a great team, and I think we needed that win for RPI and for our standards and stuff like that. Coming in, I think we're just a little disappointed about how our finishes came tonight, our shots on target, we had 21 shots and could pull into the net when we really needed to but, thankfully it's a tie."
