Quote from Head Coach Austin Risenhoover
"Winning Division 1 soccer games is hard. They had a lot of people behind the ball, we still created a lot of opportunities. It was a little disappointing that we didn't put the ball in the back of the net more, but a win is a win and it's time to move on to focus on the big game Sunday."
