Coach Chris Green:

“Tough game with so many highs and lows. I think both teams did a great job attacking each other in so many tactical ways. In the end, we played safe as the situation required us to continue being aggressive. We took the foot off the gas and in doing so passed on a great opportunity to have a successful night. We will reload, and bring the same plans to the table tomorrow hopefully with a different result.”
