Coaches Comments
"I thought we left some goals out there today, but overall another strong effort from the team," head coach
Scott Palguta said. "Good defensive work high up the field is critical to the way we play. Once we became more coordinated with our pressure, I thought we really controlled the game. We are still learning a lot each time out, but I have confidence that this group will make a few more developmental leaps before the end of the season."
