Quotes
"This is a very tough place to play, we knew that," said head coach Erin Chastain. "They capitalized on a set piece and there weren't many run-of-play chances to score goals outside of us having one in the second half. That's not going to be enough to win games, some tough lessons learned from our group tonight and we'll get back on it for Sunday.
