FAULCONER TALE
"First of all congratulations to Jacksonville. They work extremely hard and play with a ton of desire and passion. We played too tentative both defensively and offensively to get a result today. That has been our issue in all our losses this season. Too many mistakes and ultimately it may have ended our season. Goal scoring and defending often comes down to grit and JU has a ton of it. Our lack of grit on occassion has been our Achilles heel and today showed up at the wrong time."
Head coach Eric Faulconer
