QUOTABLES
"The game of soccer doesn't always reward teams. I thought we played some really great soccer and did enough to score a handful of goals in the second half. Unfortunately it took us until the second half to fire on all cylinders. You can't give 45 minutes of soccer away. If we play the first half the way we did the second half, it's a more favorable outcome for us. Those are the tough lessons of athletics." –Head Coach Michelle Demko
