HEAD COACH RAY GREEN QUOTES
"Opening day turned out to be a great start to the season with 2 wins on the road. We were able to execute many of the things we worked on in preseason. Every player was able to contribute in someway throughout the 2 matches. We certainly have things to work on but I feel we are ahead of schedule."
