COACHES CORNER
"I am so proud of the team today and couldn't ask for more from the girls, said head coach Sarah Jacobs. "We gave 100% effort, created many chances, and played a great game outshooting our opponent. In the end we were unlucky to give up a penalty and not capitalize on a few of our opportunities."
"We didn't always get the results we wanted this season and had some very close losses, but I am happy with the overall performance this year and the way the team is trending!",added Jacobs.
