“We’re struggling on offense,” head coach Ben Vierra said. “It’s been a tough road this season, but the girls’ spirits are up now. Nonetheless, if you can’t pass, you can’t score. We’ve been working on that all year.”
For the girls, the loss was not without due effort.
“I think we could’ve fixed some aspects,” said goalie senior Shravya Guda. “But we defninitely did come down hard on defense.”
The Matadors’ next home game will be against Homestead on Oct. 25.
