Head Coach Leigh Howard: "Today's result was a very difficult one to swallow.  Unfortunately, there were some decisions made early on in the game that made a significant impact on the way we had to play, and even despite that, we had the better part of the play.  I am proud with how our players faced the adversity of playing a player down, and It was unfortunate that the game ended the way it did.  We deserved better."
