 "I saw toughness from this team today and they fought really hard," head coach Pete Cuadrado said. "Obviously, they are a really good team, now 14-2 and leading the league. I'm disappointed for our team and it was a heartbreaking loss. Our effort was fantastic, stuck to the game plan and had a couple of really good chances.

Our job is to replicate game after game and get positive results going forward."
