QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH NICK COWELL
"I was really excited about the fact that we got everyone to contribute today. I thought it was a good overall team performance. Our fitness really showed in the second half. In the first half we probably held onto the ball a little bit too long, and took too many touches, but in the second half we moved the ball quicker and the other team got tired out. We showed the depth of our team, and I was really excited about the overall team chemistry and performance."
