Quote from Head Coach Austin Risenhoover

"I thought tonight was a good night. I thought we played some really good soccer, we tried a new system and it created quite a bit for us. Like I've always said, winning games at this level is hard, but in the second half we only gave up one shot, so I like where we're at. We continue to grow and now we focus on getting ready for Sunday."
