bit composure far goal hanging knew opening overtime pleased proud respected rochester second team tough
We respected Rochester from the opening whistle, and they were a tough team tonight. We knew that it could go that far and I was proud of my team after conceding a goal for hanging in there. We were a little bit whipped, but we just wanted to keep our composure during the overtime and make sure we didn't give up a second goal. I'm proud of my team and pleased to be advancing.
easiest exactly great points team three
Clearly, three points today, in a place that has not exactly been the easiest for us to play, is huge. It was a great team effort.
approach game otherwise time
We're going to take it one day at a time and one game at a time. We have to approach it that way, otherwise we could get overwhelmed.
chances easy felt few game needed point three
When I look at the tape, I would like to think we may have had a few more chances in the game overall. But this is not an easy place to play. We felt we needed to come away with a point or three and we accomplished that.
ahead allow club deadline future great profession progress secure seen senior since spot throughout timing wish
We've seen great progress in Scott throughout his two years with the Fire, so it's unfortunate that the timing of the roster deadline didn't allow us to secure a Senior Roster spot for him. He was a great young profession with our club since day one. I feel he still has a future ahead of him in MLS and wish him all the best.
