BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"Tonight was a battle. I was proud that we responded positively after going down a goal. It was great to see us dig deep to tie it up and force OT. It's unfortunate that the ball didn't roll our way in the end. We'll take the lessons and look to grow from it." --Head Coach Carrie Austin
