COACH GOLZ'S QUOTE
• This was a challenging road trip, playing against two quality teams after having traveled quite a long distance and enduring some incredible heat. We faced a lot of adversity, and while we are certainly disappointed with the outcomes, we know we will benefit from this trip. The game today was decided in a few critical moments where we lacked composure to execute and we lost some individual battles on defense. Our margin of error is small, and we need to better take advantage of the opportunities we have to turn momentum in our favor. We will certainly take a lot away from what we have learned during these two matches, be better for it next weekend and continue to see progress.
