Quotes of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
On the game
"Credit to Texas for figuring out a way to get the result. I do think that in my heart of heart's we were the better team, but at the end of the day it's about scoring goals and we didn't do that. We weren't precise enough in front of the goal with our crossing or finishing. We didn't do a good job of making the keeper have to make saves."
