TOP QUOTES
Michelle Lenard on the game …
"Proud of the girls for competing till the end. Right up to the last second, I thought we might be able to find a way to score a goal. And that's what our continued struggle is, creating some half chances, a look here or there but we're not executing well, and we're certainly not creating enough opportunities. So, it continues to be frustrating. We've got to be more productive offensively. Until that happens, the best we get hoped for ties. I thought we did a good job of limiting their good looks on goal over the course of the game."
