DENTON PERSPECTIVE

• " We came out and played hard in the first five minutes, which is what we strive to do," said Aliyah Denton. "I think ultimately we battled, but we didn't find as many finishing opportunities as we would have hoped. We call each game a test, so we wanna make sure that with every test we get better."

SEIFFERT PERSPECTIVE

• " I thought we came out and moved the ball really well tonight. The girls were pretty sharp with connecting passes and creating opportunities, but we still need to work on putting those opportunities in the back of the net. Definitely a good total team effort today and we look forward to getting back out on the training grounds tomorrow."
