From Head Coach Wes Hart
"This was the game on our schedule I was least looking forward to. I knew it was going to be a tough one. A hot Sunday afternoon on the road against a team that always plays us tough.
"I was very pleased with the first 20-25 minutes. I thought we played some of our best soccer. Nearly had two goals in the first 10 minutes. We did well to score and go up a goal, but the pk we conceded gave them life and rattled us a bit. It was a dog fight for the last 60 minutes, but we showed a lot grit, grinding that one out. We will take the win and move on. Can't wait for Friday night when we host Mercer."
