FROM THE COACH:
" "We definitely settled in after the first 15 minutes and started playing our brand of soccer. I was pleased again with the opportunities we were able to create but we just need to put a few away to get going offensively. Our defense stood strong again for us and Ky buried her penalty opportunity. We are very pleased with the result but need to be at our best for Adrian tomorrow," said Head Coach Greg Cathell.
