QUOTE OF THE GAME
"It was bad finishing for us. We had 22 shots; we either hit the keeper, hit them over or had them blocked by the defenders. We did some good things offensively, we just have to score goals and finish better. We need to defend better on set pieces. They came ready to play and they never let up. They packed it in and counterattacked which creates a lot of problems. It's unfortunate but there's a lot of soccer to play." – Head coach Doug Elder
