WORDS FROM THE WARHAWKS
"It was a good battle between both teams, and I am happy with the fact that we kept a clean sheet and fought very hard defensively in today's game," said head coach
Julianne Herrity. "Offensively, we just were not clinical enough in front of goal to be able to capitalize on the chances we created."
