COACH OSTOICH
"I can honestly say that every girl gave it their absolute all, the passion and pride they stepped out with on that field was incredible. While we didn't get the outcome we wanted, we had a couple of opportunities that we needed to take advantage of. At the end of the day they really played their hearts out.
"We're taking this feeling and making sure it doesn't happen in two days. On Sunday when we have those opportunities we're going to make sure they go in the back of the cage."
