COACH LENARD ON THE WIN
"The biggest difference was just being disciplined in the counter-attack. We actually had better possession in the first half and better possessions in the first half, but we were vulnerable in a couple counter-attack moments and they punished us for those. When they scored their first goal it was their first shot of the game. In the second half we just had to sharpen up our transition and once we did that we took away a lot of their chances."
