Concordia head coach Rob Giesbrecht commented on the ups and downs of the contest. “The girls really persevered again today,” said Giesbrecht. “We were sluggish at the start of the game, and we didn’t play well in the first half. We played much better in the second half, and we got more and more good chances as the game went on.”
