From Coach da Luz
“It was an incredible ACC tournament match with lots of drama. I’m proud of our fight to come back twice, but we should not have been in the position in the first place after a 2-0 lead. Typically scoring four goals in an ACC match you expect three points, but our defending was below our standards tonight. We will learn a lot from this game and improve for the NCAA Tournament.”
