QUOTABLE
TWU Head Coach Graham Roxburgh
"A bit of a sense of disappointment from me. Again, we dominated in possession, territory, and shots, and we were only going to get scored on if they countered a mistake from us. Credit to SFU, they defended well and made it stingy on us.
 
"Back-to-back games left us a little tired mentally. I didn't think we were very sharp in our decision making even though our work-rate was excellent. I thought Kylie Hendricks (Maple Ridge, B.C.) was superb when she came on and gave us a lift in the midfield. Charis [Wardrope] (Maple Ridge, B.C.) and Holland Stiel (Okotoks, Alta.) did well holding the ball up as well.
 
"In the end, those are games you want to win – especially on our home park. We've had a good preseason, and now we have four or five hard days of intentional work to be ready for our season opener."
 
UP NEXT
The Spartans begin their Canada West campaign at home on Aug. 26^th against UVIC (7 p.m.).
