"If we play and rebound the way we played tonight, we can finish this home stand 3-1 (6-3 overall) before we head to Portland for 2 against the Reign," say Stars Coach Burrel Lee. Lee added "I felt we thought after the first half that Tijuana was just going to roll over for us, but we had another thing coming in the second half, as they fought and clawed their way to a 1pt lead mid way through the 3rd. If we play like this in our next 2 games we can chalk them both up as loses as I know both the Jam and Warriors will be coming in looking for wins."
