We were ready for them (FC). We made a few mistakes on defense and allowed them to score once, but we had a good game, a very good game.

Their defense is fast, ... We can't make any mistakes. We have to take great first steps and proper angles, but we also have to be at our best blocking. These guys can run, and they know how to chase the ball. They do a great job of swarming the football.

We made too many mistakes; we didn't take care of the ball. We did not bear down on defense like we should; they got some good looks and they knocked them down.

Our team's been known for its defense, and Akron did a good job taking advantage of our mistakes. You have to give a lot of credit to McHugh. She came in and shut us down.

That happens. They were playing really good defense. We just made a couple of mistakes, and when you are on the road and you make mistakes like that, it's hard to win the game.

There's no question, our defense is our strong point. Philip is just solid. He makes very few mistakes.
