SAY WHAT?
"We're anxious to get at it. We're in a tough stretch right now, but we had an extremely positive week of training. We feel that we're turning a corner with the squad, playing some better soccer, and now it's a matter of trying to put some goals into the back of the net and trying to come away with some wins." - Storm Head Coach Steve Morris
