Thoughts from Coach:
After the match, Head Coach Josh Macharia said, "This was another tough loss for us. The girls played and competed very well, but just like our first game against them though, our mistakes cost us. It was hard to lose in overtime especially since we missed a penalty kick in the first half. Now we have a quick turnaround for Tuesday's game against Ottawa."
Up Next:
The Firestorm continue GSAC play at The Master's University on Thur., March 25 at 10 a.m. Arizona Time in Santa Clarita, Calif.
