Thoughts From Coach:

After the match, Head Coach Ted Krzywiecki stated, "Today was a tough battle and a game where we felt like we had things going in our favor. Our guys fought and responded well after going down in the second half. I'm proud of the response and felt that if we had a few more minutes we would have found an equalizer. We have to regroup, stick together, and continue to play for each other."
