Jodie Smith
"Well they always say '2-0 is the most dangerous lead in soccer, because if they score one, it's 2-1, then the other team believes. And that's exactly what happened today. We played well, got complacent, and started making careless mistakes and they capitalized on them." –
On what lead to the blown lead.
"Certainly, it was a game of attrition today, both teams were short on players, it was hot, and we played around 110 minutes of soccer. So, it was definitely a war of attrition and we'll find out what the report is on our players tomorrow." –
