QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH DONNY GEORGE
"Tonight was a tough one, and right now, we're grappling with consistency—whether it's standing our ground against tough opposition or being relentless in our style of play. But tonight gave us valuable insight into ourselves and each individual on the team."

"We controlled the game, dominated possession, and dictated the tempo, but conceding four goals is simply not acceptable. The great thing about soccer is that it's always a lesson. We'll learn, we'll grow, and our focus now shifts to the next game, where we'll be ready to respond."
