QUOTABLE
“Obviously we’re very disappointed with the outcome today. I thought the team put fourth excellent effort and played as well as they could. I’m disappointed we weren’t able to get on the scoreboard. We had some really good chances, both in the first and second half. Brit [Walker] was outstanding for us again and kept us in the gam and overall, the team as a whole put out tremendous effort.†â€" Neil Macmillan
