Head coach Carin Crawford

On the Aztecs offensive struggles:
"It seemed like we were all over the three-inch crossbar. It was frustrating to be taking quality shots on goal and not get conversions."

On the momentum of the game:
"It really felt like the momentum was going our way. We started to push them out on offense and I felt that we were capable of tying the game and possibly going ahead, but we just couldn't quite get over that hump. To lose a game like that is tough, but I give credit to UC Davis who was able to put their shots away and make the most of their opportunities."

Junior driver Jenna Schuster

On the game:
"It was a tough loss. The only thing we can do now is bounce back and try to finish fifth."

"I felt like we were with (UC Davis) the whole game. We had a few lapses on defense that they took advantage of and we weren't able to fully come back from."
