QUOTING HEAD COACH DREW FITZGERALD
"We played hard today and overall I was proud of our effort.  Corpus moves the ball really well, but I thought we defended nicely and limited their quality chances until the game winner happened.  We still have work to do to be more connected in the final third, but I'm confident this team has a shot come tournament time if we can just get healthy and fix a few small issues."
