QUOTES

  • “Disappointed at the end, allowing them to come back when we’re up two to zero. I have to give it to del Sol, they kept pressing us and creating chances and opportunities. Hope came up with a huge save, we had two good goals and created a lot of opportunities but we couldn’t find that third one. ” – FC Tucson Head Coach Kelly Pierce
  • I think we played well, we’re getting better and there’s more chemistry building between the team. I think we’re playing decent soccer, it’s just minimizing the mistakes that we’re making.” – FC Tucson Head Coach Kelly Pierce
  • “She plays at ASU, so I’ve scouted her for about four years now. I had a gut feeling that she was going to go that way. I had to just trust in my instincts.” – FC Tucson goalkeeper Hope Hisey
