COACHES TAKE
"It was a great match, UCCS played well today," said Rambelles Head Coach Travis McCorkle. "I thought we started a bit slow in the first half, but we got some good periods of possession there at the end of the half. The penalty kick really took the wind out of our sails. Mia was able to revitalize us with a goal with just two minutes to go. Val did a great job stepping into the striker role for us today. We didn't get the result today, but that doesn't take away from the great season that we had this year."
