TWU Head Coach Graham Roxburgh
"It was a very entertaining, but interesting game. It certainly opened our eyes to some different ways that we can minimize mistakes. I thought we showed some character in the second half. We got to play lots of players who needed to get some minutes today. Unfortunately, a few defensive breakdowns led to some pretty interesting goals However, we were able to right the ship and score three goals late. In the end it was a helpful way to end our road trip."
