Quotes:

Head Coach Alen Marcina

(On the match result...)

"As a collective we were proud, this is coming from the players, that they competed for 97 minutes. It was difficult, having injuries, short bodies, but we competed. We continued to compete for 97 minutes."

Defender Connor Manley

(On the team's performance...)

"We've got to give credit to Phoenix. They're a great team and played a great game. Obviously its tough right now with injuries, but we have a next man up mentality. That's all we can do. We don't make excuses, we only make solutions around here. We're just going to go out each game and give it our all and whatever it is, we'll be happy with it because we know we gave it our all."
