"(River Ridge) are starting to come together and do the things we are working on in practice," said River Ridge coach Skip Glover. "Hopefully, we are hitting our stride now. I think Jenny has over 30 goals. They all played well."
"(River Ridge) was persistent." Gators coach Vicky King said. "We had a 10-minute lapse in the first half and a 5-minute lapse in the second half. (Marshall) played well and kept us in the game most of the time."
