QUOTES

“Tough first game for us at the AmeriCup. We look forward to building this group and the valuable international experience it’s providing our team.”

-Roy Rana, Head Coach

“We didn’t play well and we have to do a better job of coming out with a lot of energy. We came out sluggish and didn’t execute the way we should have. We just have to go back and regroup, come back and win two.”

-Xavier Rathan-Mayes
