"This was a very exciting day for the program with the dedication of the new soccer field house. There was a lot going on and a lot of potential distractions for the players and I thought they handled it very well. Overall we were very happy with the performance. We continue to create a lot of chances and once we start putting more of our shots on fram, I think we will see this team score a lot of goals. The girls showed a lot of reslience today and certainly deserved to get the win."
