Notes:

  • “We were really on the front foot for the first 15-20 minutes, we got the goal and it felt like we were pushing for another one. When it didn’t come, the tempo of the game slowed down, and we didn’t react to the circumstances as well as we’d have liked to. It just wasn’t our day.” said Head Coach Adam Pfeifer.
  • “It was a great crowd, it really helped especially at the end to help push the players forward to make opportunities happen. Scoring in front of them was amazing, it’s great opening your ears after scoring a goal and seeing 1,200 people cheering you on.” said goalscorer Ryan Combe.
