Quotes:

Head Coach Carlos Llamosa

(On the result)

"It wasn't a good game for us. I don't think we performed tonight. Colorado Springs didn't create much against us, but they found one big mistake in the first half, and you have to give them credit. They scored a goal from that mistake. After that, we pushed but we didn't create much either so we need to be better. We need to pick it up. We played about 10 minutes with a man up, and we have to be better at that point and finish the opportunities."

(On rebounding from the loss)

"Well, we have to get the injured guys back and make sure we have all the squad available for next week. I know we have another tough match against Tulsa. They're at the top of the table right now, and we have to be better. We have to raise a level and try to compete for points next week, so a lot of work to do for the rest of the season to make sure we make playoffs and play in home games for our fans."

Defender Noah Dollenmayer

(On the loss)

"It's really frustrating. I think we fought really hard and we were solid. They just took their chance that they had, and from there, we just couldn't get ours. I think we had multiple chances, and it's just one of those games we're going to have to learn from."

(On getting his first start with the defense)

"It always helps playing alongside really good players. It felt pretty seamless to work right in tonight. It's a blessing just to make minutes and my first appearance for this amazing club, so from here, we just gotta grow as a group and individually, of course, the chemistry is gonna grow, and we go from there."
