"We came out and scored a goal in the first minute instead of giving up one, so that was a positive," Big Red (4-1-1) head coach Greg Bowers said. "We missed a few opportunities after that. When we have the chance, we have to be focused. We have to learn to put teams under."

"They are a young team," Coach Bowers said about the Golden Bears. "They're trying to figure things out. They have three seniors. Coach Brewer does a good job with them. They work hard. They play the right way. They move the ball. They're going to get better as the season goes on."
