COACH COMMENTS 

"I'm very proud of our guys tonight. Tonight's game was all about discipline and executing the game plan. I felt we controlled most of the game and stuck to our tactical plan in the attack, which gave our guys confidence as the match continued. With our conference being as close as it is in the race for playoffs, we knew that we couldn't concede.It's the second game in a row our guys haven't conceded. In a conference where goals against will play a factor for playoff seedings, this is a big confidence booster for our guys. As we prepare for St. Xavier, we'll continue to stress the importance of staying disciplined defensively and will hope that will give us a much needed result. we will need Saturday to clinch a playoff spot." -Omar Gallo
