TOP QUOTE
Head Coach Brian Young on the win…
“Today the whole team got a great, dominate result on the road. I thought Ty (Mobley) and Owain (Hoskins) were excellent this weekend, and our best goal scorers finished their chances. We also got a lot of minutes for our younger players, which is great as well. It was difficult with 25 mph wins, but we managed to play the St. Edward’s way and picked up another three points on the road.”

WHAT’S NEXT
The Hilltoppers host Rogers State Thursday at 2 p.m. at Lewis-Chen Family Field. Live stats and video will be available at GoHilltoppers.com.
