Coach Biggs' Comments

"Our team revealed more of its character again tonight, coming back to earn a tie on the road against a team that remains undefeated in the league. After going a goal down, the players continued to fight and nearly found the winning goal in the final minutes. The tying goal was a great combination of coordinated movement and smart passing capped off by Makayla's great effort — she sprinted from deep in midfield — and skillful finish. Our tough defending and resilience will continue to provide us with a strong foundation as we work to create more and more scoring chances.".
