Coach's Quotes
"It's another game where individual mistakes have cost us a win. They played very well, we had a good week of training working on our shape. I think the players saw that when we were disciplined and organized, the other team was questioning themselves, where to go, and what to do. We did a good job in that regards, so I am proud of the girls there. It was a great goal by Kabangu in the first half, and then unfortunately two late goals, one in the second half of regulation with the penalty. I don't know whether the referee had been talking to the goalkeeper in regards to playing quicker, but either way it was a well taken penalty by Embry-Riddle, and they got a great goal on a set piece in overtime, and unfortunately we lose 2-1."
