Coach Nemzer's Take
"I think we came in with a game plan and they got an early goal. So it took us out of our game plan. We let up two corner kick goals, but I thought we regrouped in the first half after that moment and I thought we competed. I think we looked a little bit tired at the end. Now it's our job to get a recovery for the next 48 hours and turn our focus to Michigan."

Katie Coyle on How the Team Changes Focus to Next Match
"I think we kind of just have to learn from our mistakes in this game in a very straightforward way and not really dwell on it. Just figure out what we need to work on and get it fixed for the next game. We just can't allow ourselves to stick with the loss. Just need to keep moving forward and move on to Sunday."
