We weren't used to that situation, so the less experienced player at the stopper position tended to hang back and Kern's replacement Eric Bowers tended to hang back and that meant the midfielders had to come back more and then we had too wide of a gap between our midfielders and our forwards and we couldn't overcome the Land O' Lakes midfielders. So we played good defense. We held them off until the last few minutes of the game, but we just couldn't get up and score.
More Quotes from Ed McComiskey:
We started off the season slow. We were kind of in a rut for a while. I told the players we needed to come out of the winter break with a winning record. We've turned the corner and we're on the plus side going into the second half of the season, which is positive.Ed McComiskey
I figured the game to come down to one play or to the end like it did. I just wish it had been the other way around.

Without Mike out there, everyone was staying back too much. We lost control of the midfield and couldn't get the ball to our offensive players.
