Coaches Quote
"We started off the first half slow, but we played much better in the second half, and had a couple of chances to score," McKendree head coach
Tim Strange said. "They get a sweet goal, and that's what it comes down to. It comes down to a little bit of a chance and they got that. We had two chances in the second half, but we couldn't finish either one of them. But we'll keep pushing forward."
