Coach McCorkle's Thoughts:
"Tough loss. Game has to end and PK's can be a brutal ending to a game and a season. It isn't fair, but it is what it is. I am proud of today, overall. Defense gets a shutout and some players that have been a little up and down in the season showed up and were solid today. A few injuries didn't help us today but that's why we have subs. In a totally new conference alignment and teams, we showed well for ASU and at the end of the day, that's who we play for - ASU. We learned a lot this year and hope for an even better season next year."

Key Players:

• Scott led the offense with three shots, while five other Belle players tallied one. Cassidy Hill and Warren each notched one shot on goal.
• Miller finished with two saves and one save in penalty kicks.
• Scott, Solis, Warren, and Benham all scored goals in the penalty kick period.
