POSTGAME QUOTE
Pacific head coach
Adam Reeves following the match:
"Disappointed with the result. We were in complete control of the match, and had some great chances beside the goal, to essentially end the match early. Unfortunately, we didn't finish, and allowed them to stay in the game. Midway through the second half we went through a little lull which changed the complexion of the game. We need to do better in these moments to continue being who we are."
