Post-Match Quotes
Georgia Head Coach Keidane McAlpine
On Sunday’s match…
“I thought it was a really tough game. UCF’s an extremely good team and they were fresh, so it made it difficult for us to raise our energy level back where we needed to win a game like this. However, I thought the way we fought to the end was commendable. We created some chances. We just didn’t take advantage of it. We’re going to have to go back to the drawing board and reset ourselves. But for this first stretch of games we’ve played, this one’s disappointing because I don’t think we gave ourselves enough of a chance.”
