Quotes of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
On the game:
"We created a lot of chances, especially in the first half. Unfortunately we weren't able to score through the run of play. The PKs are always a crapshoot. I thought we deserved to win the game, but I'm happy that we were able to advance to next weekend."
On the Messiah Bright:
"She was a beast today. I guess, depending on how things go, I'm going to start calling her Miss. November. She was in attack mode from minute one and it was nice to watch. Hopefully she can continue this level of play."
On the penalty kicks:
"We practice that stuff all the time so that was well-rehearsed. The kids stepped up and did what they were supposed to do, what they have practiced over and over again. We were fortunate. We were prepared and able to advance."
