Thoughts from Head Coach
Oscar Mendoza:
"It was a good game. We dominated the first half and we had some chance and we couldn't convert. Mines is a good team that is very organized and plays quality soccer. Every game is a learning experience and we will learn from this and go forward. Am proud of our players, we played two good teams away from home and came out with some points." GO COWGIRLS !!!!!!!!
