QUOTABLE

Head Coach Tim Ward said: "First of all, congrats to Santa Clara. They played a heck of a game and were just on it from the get go. In a game like this, you have to do your thing better than they do theirs. They made some changes and caught us out early, and before we could adjust, they punished us. Joelle hit the post when it was 1-0 and if that goes in I think the game balances out a bit, but they immediately went down to the other side and got a second, and that was a huge moment in the match.

"Even though we lost, we grew tonight. The lessons we learned will make us a better team not only for the rest of the regular season, but hopefully for the postseason as well."
