Fatigue is huge. We were fatigued the last 20 minutes of the game. |
Holy Cross gave us a good fight in the first half. We have a good bench and we just wore them down. Some of our younger players gained some valuable tournament experience. |
It broke the rhythm of the game. I know it was frustrating for Mandeville. I feel bad for the keeper. |
They were upset by the results of the first-round defeat. Fontainebleau had the incentive, and that showed. They scored quickly at both halves, which hurt us. We had to dig ourselves out of a hole in each half. It was an unfortunate loss. |
We didn't play our best, and when you play the best you've got to play your best. We took too long to get into our game. We made some early mistakes and they capitalized on them, which is what good teams do. We kept it close in the first half, but they dominated play. |
We outlasted them, in that sense. That's the bottom line. |
