COACH'S QUOTE
"We went into the game with a defensive mission today and I thought we did well in executing that," said Head Coach Kristi Huizenga. "The heat required both teams to sub quite a bit in addition to the added water stoppages in each half. Between those and all the set pieces we had to defend; we felt pretty good about our defense overall today. We still were able to generate a bunch of scoring opportunities and will continue to work on our finishing."
