Head Coach April Cornell-DeAngelis
"It was a disappointing loss. We played a hard-fought game and had great corner execution. We need to focus on better possession passing and defending consistently in our upcoming game so we finish with a win. I'm gutted for the players, especially the seniors, on our senior day. It was exciting to get four goals from four different players. We don't take it as a loss but rather an opportunity to grow and learn."
