One of the big positives the Fairfield Women’s Soccer team can take away from their season opening 4-2 loss to UC Irvine is that the toughness and determination they spent all preseason building was on full display.
“It’s just the positive attitude,” Head Coach Jim O'Brien said. “The seniors are just very positive people and are ‘never say die’ kids. That’s what they did today. Brenna (Brown) was spectacular, she did a tremendous job. I feel that she’s going to have a big year for us. Anna (Borea) was being very vocal out there, leading the charge with the team and that’s contagious.”
“This attitude is going to be helpful,” Brown said. “In the MAAC every game is a battle so knowing from the first player to the last players, everyone is for the team. I know we were standing up in the second half and that is something that helps them on the field.”
“Jenna (Pike) was spectacular,” Coach O’Brien said. “Nothing less than spectacular. She made five big time saves which was a very impressive performance. The goals that were scored were restarts, penalty kicks, things that we can prevent. None of the goals were a fault from her and the saves she made were spectacular.”
The Stags will have another chance to show the West Coast this character when they take on Long Beach State on Sunday at 8pm EST.
