CAUTIONS AND EJECTIONS
COACH'S QUOTE
"The team showed resilience tonight to fight back and secure a result against a nationally-ranked opponent," commented head coach
Dennis Currier following the match. "We caught a slow start and spent much of the match playing from behind, but the team showed tremendous grit to find the equalizer. We completely shifted the momentum late in the second half and created several high-quality chances to win it in the final 10 minutes. It is still a learning process with so many new players but we continue to grow from the first match of the season."
