Quotes:
Head Coach Alen Marcina
(On the loss)
It's a disappointing result again. It's another match where we created more than enough opportunities to win the game, so disappointed that we're not scoring goals. We got to be better. I've mentioned it a number of times that the guys are getting in good positions, but the final action is missing, and we have to improve that final action if we want to start to collect points.
(On takeaways from the match)
We're going away, we're controlling games, we're creating the better opportunities, but we're falling short on executing that final action, and it has to be better.
Forward Luis Solignac
(On the team's performance)
It was tough again. We had a good week of training and again didn't get a result. We just need to keep working and start getting points, otherwise it's going to be a difficult season. We've got to figure out why there's so much difference with the first and second halves. We have to stay together, keep fighting and showing up in training and games. Everyone has to look in the mirror and do better, so for me, it's always about keep working, keep trying, don't give up. There's more games trying to catch the other teams and make playoffs, and then it's going to be a new story.
