I am proud and excited about this team. They fought so hard today, showing their toughness, competitiveness and resilience every step of the way. These are athletes of high character who put the team first, constantly fight for each other and push each other to improve. Although this was a tough loss, I have no doubt that we will respond in the right way and come back even stronger.
