To the boys credit they score a lot of early goals. The only problem is we relax after scoring them. That has to change. I thought we were terrible in the back today. Our outside backs played well going forward for the most part, and both played the entire game, which is hard to do, but our centerbacks struggled today. We were unorganized and soft. We had twenty-two shots, twelve corners, and three goals. You have to win on days like that. It was really disappointing not to get it done today.”
