THOUGHTS FROM COACH
"This was a hard fought match that could have gone either way," said head coach J.T. Wenger. "We handled ourselves with composure, but couldn't produce quite enough to get us over that line. Very proud of this team and the grit they showed. I'm looking forward to seeing how we learn from this match and bounce back."
