Post-Game Quotes – Head Coach Chris Allen

On overall performance: "We struggled tonight to get to grips with the game and actually do what we set out to do. Credit to them they caused us problems, but we had a few chances that we feel could have seen us come out on top. They scored on a great rebound off a free kick, probably the best goal I've seen all year. Siena was a force as usual and we just hope that we get another chance to play them again this season in the WHAC playoffs".
