QUOTABLES
Head Coach Keyton Wheelock
Georgia State Preview: They have not given up many goals this season they have stayed very organized and are hard to break down and again we have to be clinical in front of net. They, much like Coastal on Friday, don't give up a lot of goals and are another team that is well organized on defense and we have got to be clinical in front of goal.
