Quoting the Coach

• Craig O'Rourke II - "It's a tough result for us to accept on the day because we know the overall quality that we produced throughout the match should have netted us a greater prize.  We again had the majority of the possession across all three thirds of the field and were able to move the ball the way that we wanted and dictate the flow and course of the match.  A simple mistake by a freshman in the first half gave Roger Williams their opportunity and they made the most of it.  But I thought we dealt with that adversity and played on the front foot to create a multitude of varied chances throughout the remainder of the match.  We had quality chances in close and from outside during dynamic play and we were very dangerous on nearly all of our set pieces.  I think we hit the bar three times… once on a corner, once off a rebound, and then Ventura's bending lofted shot.  Our penalty came as the result of all of our directed possession and we were able to keep the pressure on them and not allow them to play-out as much as they wanted.  Ultimately for us, it's a very similar tale to what we have already experienced this year – a lot of possession and shots but not enough execution in the match-critical moments of the game."
