COACH GOLZ'S QUOTE
• "The first 10 minutes of the match really did us in. We came out slow and we conceded three goals early in the game, largely due to the lack of composure on our part. I thought we did a good job of sorting that out as we went through the game. Mentally, I'm happy with how the team responded. We're going to learn from this and be ready for the first weekend of the regular season."
