Coach Curt Speerschneider: "We had a lot of opportunities to turn this match but just couldn't capitalize.  It's all a learning process and we're still finding ourselves bit.  A big factor in winning at this level is confidence from every player at every spot, and the other team just had a bit more of that than us today in a few spots.  Good teams always come back stronger and we have another opportunity waiting for us tomorrow."
