"A tough one to take,'' head coach LeBaron Hollimon said. "I'm proud of the team for how they competed and approached the game with the right attitude. I'm confident that we can fix a few things. We will win more games playing the way we played today. An inch lower on Rachael's shot, and she doesn't hit the crossbar. An inch to the keeper's left and she doesn't make a fingertip save.''
