Credit to Oklahoma Baptist as they played a very strong second half to put us away, but that doesn't diminish what our team accomplished this season.

We are incredibly proud of our team, and we are losing 4 seniors that we will dearly miss, but we know that even brighter days are ahead for Ranger Soccer" said head coach Alex Piekarski.
