They were a bit tougher than us at certain positions when it counted the most, and we need to do a better job of imposing our game in those situations. Proud of the way Juliana Cardoso is playing the past couple of matches since coming back from an injury. Looking forward to another battle against a tough Tulsa team on Sunday."
