From Travis McCorkle: Q: What did you think about today's match after having 21 shots but the game ending in a 0-0 draw? "I got to throw down a challenge for my forwards you can't have 21 shots and end the match with the result that we did. We had 16 shots in the second half alone. We should have come out of here with three points, and not the result that we did. The defense did well enough on their part to get us the win it was a little shaky in the first half, but in the second half it was a lot better, but the forwards need to be more clinical in finishing the chances that we do create. We now have no margin of error in the standings, I hope that the team can respond to this result, and it's not just a one match response, but multiple match responses to end the season strong."
