THOUGHTS FROM JACK VUNDUM
"It was a really good, competitive game. They are a strong side, and are going to do well this year. I thought after the first 20-25 we settled into our game and really got control of possession and the ball. We were getting some good looks and some good chances. We went into halftime happy with the way we were playing. We had a lot of chance on the counter and we didn't really take advantage of it. We had a couple chances to win it and we didn't and they did. "
