QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
"I thought it was a really good battle. Southern New Hampshire is a very good strong athletic team and they possess the ball very well. I thought we got a little bit better as the second half went on and had a few more chances and at the end of the day they put the ball in the back of the net and we didn't, but there's a lot of things that we took away is positives as we prepare for our next match." – Head Coach Grace Barnard
