POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH Chris Petrucelli
On playing consecutive overtime matches this weekend: We felt confident going into overtime [today]. We had momentum going into overtime after our last game [2-1 win over No. 12 Missouri on Friday, Oct. 19].
On lack of offense: We had no movement up front. We were not connecting our passes. We weren't dangerous going forward and we're not scoring on the chances we are creating.
JUNIOR DEFENDER Kasey Moore
On UT's offense against Kansas: We couldn't get goals today. We couldn't get into a rhythm. We had a great game on Friday but we struggled today.
On moving forward from today's game: We just need to regroup. We have Oklahoma and Oklahoma State on the road this weekend. We need to step up, regroup and focus on what we need to focus on.
