Coachs Remarks

"A very tough game tonight, as you expect against the No. 1 team in the nation. I think we defended exceptionally well and limited Chicago to very few chances. We also had some chances of our own, including the early offside goal that was called back. I'm proud of the boys for their fight and determination. We need to build our focus into 90 minutes at the intensity of the game tonight, and if we can do that, we will get our reward."
