鈥淭onight was tough. I thought we were very good in the first half but we didn鈥檛 capitalize on our opportunities,鈥 said head coach . 鈥淚t is always an abrupt ending unless you are the last team standing.  It is certainly hard to process right now, but I couldn鈥檛 be prouder of our team. They have competed all year so well, and continued to grow all year.鈥
