Quotable: Head Coach
Brett Faro
"I was really proud of our ability to claw our way back into the game tonight and tie it up.
"Lee is a good team and they have a lot of offensive ability. We need to improve on our execution both offensively and defensively. I felt like we gave away two goals and we can't afford to do that against a team as talented as they are.
"We are a very capable team. We will continue to get better and fix some of the issues we have right now. There's a lot to play for and we will absolutely continue to move forward."
