Quote from Head Coach Austin Risenhoover

"I thought in the first half we were timid. The second half, I mean, if we play like that in the second half [for the entire game], I think we have a chance to lift a trophy in our conference. We competed, we played a good brand of soccer. We had four of five really good looks at the goal. We came out and got a PK and ran set pieces, I'm proud of them there. I think the thing that I have to continue to do is change the mentality, that's been our biggest thing. The talent is there and we'll just continue to grind next week."
