Coach Biggs' Comments

"I thought we played well this afternoon, and was very pleased with our effort and passing as well as our defending. We created a few very good chances from the run of play, and to do that while also holding them scoreless for 90 minutes speaks to the quality of our performance. We'll learn from the experience and get set for our next game."
