Coach Gorman: "The conditions certainly made today's game a challenge for both teams. We again improved from our last game and had a lot of good moments and I felt we carried the play and were the more threatening team. In soccer, though, you have to take your chances and avoid giving up unnecessary ones to opponents. Today we had momentary lapses that led to set pieces and goals. We need to eliminate those if we're going to be a winning team, and each week is another opportunity to improve."
