FROM THE COACHES –
"Not the result we were expecting or wanted tonight, BYU definitely has it rolling right now so big props to them. We did a lot of good things tonight and put BYU into uncomfortable situations throughout and scored a really good goal early in the second half. We will continue to learn, grow, and develop from nights like this, and our players know this doesn't deter us from achieving our conference goals for this season. We are all super excited to get back on the field Wednesday night at home against Gonzaga." Co-Head Coaches Danesha Adams and J.J. Wozniak
