THOUGHTS FROM COACH TED KRZYWIEKCI
"Our guys implemented ideas we have been working on tonight so I am proud of them for that. There are areas we need to be better in that we discussed and we will continue to chip away at that. Hats off to Dustin Rogers for keeping a shutout on the board with a massive Penalty stop in the first half. Now we need to turn our focus to prep for a tough match on Saturday."
