Quote from Coach Claire Paterson "This was a disappointing game today. We failed to take care of business and keep our play off hopes alive. We really needed to come away with the win today in order to control our own destiny. As a team we need to come out and demonstrate how much we want to win matches by how hard we work on the field for the full 90 minutes. I expect that we will put a better performance together for tomorrow’s match against league leaders Langara College."
