HEAD COACH MICHELLE LENARD ON A TOUGH LOSS
"It's a tough way to lose. We've come out on top in those situations earlier in the season. We've just got to find a way to not to continue to put ourselves in these positions. We started to struggle toward the end. We weren't winning the loose balls like we needed to, and they scored a scrappy goal at the end.
