COACH GOLZ'S QUOTE
• "The change in game time and playing midafternoon instead of playing this evening, we started off pretty lethargic. The first half was slow motion I thought. Our execution with the ball was really sloppy. I thought our urgency into transition into defense was really slow. I was disappointed with how we started the game but pleased with how we responded after halftime. We did some things much better. We put them under some pressure in higher parts of the field. We took away some of the things they were trying to do within their attack. We created some really dangerous opportunities. The momentums of the games –a the highs and lows – we did a good job of managing that."
