FROM THE FIELD
"I loved how we played in the first half and felt a little unlucky to be trailing. The team responded really well to take the lead in the second half. To concede a tying goal with such little time left would have crushed most groups but I think we showed our resiliency, heart, and grit to pull out the win!" - Head Coach Pat Naughter.
