QUOTE BOARD: HEAD COACH NICK COWELL
"I think the commitment level and focus of our team really came out really fired up. We felt like we should have beaten them at their place. Obviously they had a good game plan going against us, and we tied 1-1. We don't use revenge as a factor, but I definitely think there was some motivation there from our team to put things right this game."
