COACH'S COMMENTS
"I thought the team played really well," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "I thought there was a lot of high level soccer in both halves. I thought the first half, we were a bit unlucky to not get a couple more goals in there. Their goalkeeper did a good job of keeping them in the game. There's always moments there towards the end of the first half where we lost control of the game, but we got it back at the start of the second half. Defensively, we did well getting another shutout. Offensively, we produced a lot of chances, probably need to be a little more clinical finishing. Overall though it was a really good performance over the 90 minutes."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers will finish up the Dayton Tournament Monday at 7 p.m. against Marshall.
