COACH'S COMMENTS
"It was a competitive match on both sides," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "I thought we had better play in the first half and they had better play in the second half. I thought they willed their way to win in the second. It was a little disappointing on our side that we just didn't compete in the second half of the game. Ultimately, this is the first game of the season and I thought the guys had good moments in the game, we just didn't have a complete game and fell short."
