Words From Coach Worman: "Today's match was a gift to our training and development. Anything that's a bad habit, lurking quietly in the periphery, will come out in full force when we're tired. And after gutting it out through the dog days of October, we're tired. We also found that our good habits and process-oriented work are serving us as solid tools … even when we're tired. It was an important day in our ongoing development and improvement. Thank you to all the fans and family that came out to support us!"
