Congratulations to Southern California, they are a great team. I think we did a great job of being able to keep them contained. Dani Rice in our defense was fantastic throughout the match, to shut out and attack like that. Then their goalkeeper made a great save. One great save, and we hit the post on the other one, but she was up to the task and they deserved to win. I didnt think we deserved to lose, but I think a very good Southern California team now moves on.On the season... This, to an extent, was a little bit like a lot of our season. True grit, fight, determination and love for each other. We pulled through some tough times during the season, and some really tough times today during the match. We came up a bit short, but they should always be proud of the effort.On what you tell to returning players... Well be second guessing ourselves on different things. The biggest thing is were going to return the majority of this team. The majority of the players in this lineup come back, with three of our redshirts coming back next year. Well be excellent going forward, and these seniors have been a big part in helping propel this program to the top in the very near future.
