COACH JESS SMITH, QUOTED

"I'm disappointed in our intensity and execution today. I think we organized the team in the second half to give us a chance to equalize, but our intensity just wasn't good enough. We have to learn from this that every minute of every game matters, and we have to come out ready to get a result."
"Kassi and Emma are getting themselves in positions to create chances. Meg White came in and was dangerous as well. We just have to continue going at them and hopefully execute on one of our chances."

UP NEXT
The Roos are on the road next weekend, traveling to Denver for a match on Friday at 7 p.m. before a Sunday meeting with Omaha at 1 p.m.
