Post-Match Quotes
Georgia Head Coach Keidane McAlpine
On tonight's match…
"I thought we played really, really well. We were a bit unfortunate on the first goal. It was their first shot of the game, and they scored. But that's a really good team we played. I was really proud of the way we came out and played and competed. Bouncing off the Florida game, I thought we did a good job. We just didn't take as many risks in the final third as I thought we should've to put them under pressure. In terms of the overall way we played and the way we moved the ball on them, I felt really good about it."
On preparing for LSU Sunday…
"We're going to build on the football we played. In the small adjustments we made during the game, I thought we did well. Now, it's just about asking them to take risks. We'll work on the final third. We'll work on being a little more aggressive and assertive in those areas; also, communicating cleaner in the back. We know LSU is going to bring a whole other set of problems to solve, but we'll be prepared."
