COACH'S CORNER
"I told the girls before the game that we wanted to be able to leave the field saying that we fought and battled for 90 minutes. I am pleased to say that this is exactly what they did. I know it seems like a weird thing to say due to the result, but I am proud of the resilience we showed tonight." - Coach
Nikki Elsaesser
