Coach Bishop Quotes
 
"What a great result tonight. With the conditions surrounding the game, being on the road, on a turf field against a quality opponent that does a great job defensively and being physical, I am thrilled with the result. The team came out and really battled with them, we had to hang on towards the end, but we had that luxury after getting the two nice goals in the first half."
