Coach Peltonen's Quotes
“A game we didn’t come out and play our best. I was a little frustrated on the sidelines and this may have had an effect on the players. It definitely had an effect on the referees. We can stay in games with hard work, but we were very inconsistent with our effort as a team today. Aurora maintained a lot of possession against us and we had trouble keeping the ball. When Jim Chavez entered the game we did a better job of connecting on passes, but once again we didn’t create a lot of dangerous attacking moments.”
“Game balls go to Nick Henkemeyer who made some great saves and Jim Chavez for his possession play.”
