From Coach Foy: "The girls played very well and controlled the game from start to finish. It was a physical game and our girls stepped up to the challenge and imposed their will. The game was won in the first half and we were able to relax and control the game in the second half. We showed our strength in our squad and the ability we have, we remain unbeaten this season."
Very rarely do I single out players for performances, especially when we had so many outstanding performances tonight but Will Porter, I have never seen a player nevermind a freshman dominate a midfield like you did tonight, Outstanding! Keep it up."

From Coach Foy: "I love this game of soccer but it can be cruel sometimes, hard to wrap my head around how we lost.
I have to express how proud I am of how we played. We played the best soccer I have seen us play since I became the the leader of our program. We played the game the right way, with heart, passion and pride for our school and family. The boys dominated large portions of the game, if not all of it with classy soccer and how the game should be played. You have implemented all we have taught you, your reward will come. Keep bringing your outstanding attitude to learn this game everyday and we will keep building. I am proud to be your coach. It is an honor to be in this family, we conducted ourselves with class tonight in the face of strong adversity, we will only grow stronger from this. We have given ourselves a challenge in region but it is time to show our character again and overcome it.
Very rarely do I single out players for performances, especially when we had so many outstanding performances tonight but Will Porter, I have never seen a player nevermind a freshman dominate a midfield like you did tonight, Outstanding! Keep it up."
