Thompson's Remarks....
" It was a disappointing result. I didn't think they were four goals better than us. We had opportunities but need to create more, we had a challenge putting it in the net. Their keeper played an exceptional game."
" We are still getting punished for mistakes. We need to find our best four for the back."
" This week we are going to bounce back, get focused and start training for Michigan."
The next match for the Falcons will be Friday when they travel to Ann Arbor to take on the Wolverines of Michigan at 5p.m.
