 From Head Coach Travis McCorkle: "Unfortunately, stats don't show the whole picture, but if you watch this game, it was a good effort, we did well, but we were still asleep at the beginning, which is why we gave up the goal. Im pleased with the subs and the energy they are giving us. In the first half, our defense was not good. In the second half, our defense was much better. In the second half, we were in control for most of the second half with our possession and shots. Our biggest issue right now is in the final third, we just can't execute we have good chances we just can't get goals. We have tried many combinations with our players in practice to figure out the chemistry that would give us the edge. We feel like we have found the right one we just need to get one in the back of the net to get us back where we want to be."
