Thoughts from the Team

Head Coach Ryan Martin on facing Charleston Battery next weekend:

"We just keep moving forward, we didn't get the result we wanted, you know, but that's life. The reality is we must keep moving forward, we will treat and prepare for Charleston like we do every match."

Drew Skundrich on the 0-2 result against Pittsburgh:

"They executed their game plan. We did not create the high-quality chances we needed to. At the end of the day, it just came down to the details and those fine moments that impact games. They had it tonight, and we didn't."
