CURRIER’S COMMENTS

“The team responded well tonight after a good week of training. With so many new faces, we still have a ways to go but there was growth tonight. We had several moments in the game that our press and counter press were relentless which created several opportunities. Our finishing was much sharper and it was a strong team effort. It is a quick turnaround so recovery will be important for Sunday's match.
