Coaches Quote
 "Overall, I'm happy, I'm proud, but I'm not satisfied (with today's performance)," McKendree head coach Scott Gyllenborg. "I don't think it matters who the opposition is, we compete to win, and we didn't do that. We played young guys, players who played in their first games in college soccer. They made some mistakes, but I'm confident they'll learn from them. If we can make some improvements, we're in a good place."
