"Today's game was frustrating. Monument took advantage of fewer scoring opportunites to grab the early lead and we could never fully recover. Statistically we had the edge in all categories, but that's the way games go sometimes."

"Monument is extremely dangerous in the counterattack. They have skilled players up front who have great speed. Both of their goals were quality finishes after they forced turnovers at midfield."

"We should great resolve in the second half and really took the game to Monument. They cleared two balls off the goal line that would have tied the game. Dave Majetich had a very good look at the goal with 1 second left but a back made a great play to save the day for them."

"We just need to play with our second-half intensity for a full 80 minutes. If we can play the way we did in the second half when we play them again at home, I would the result would be different."

"Our three midfielders did a great job of sustaining our attack by forcing turnovers and making strong runs through the middle. Grant worked hard to earn his goal. He's raised his game tremendously since last season and is now one of our key players."
