Loucy said Waterbury's second score was absolutely huge.
"That's the insurance goal, and it gives you a little bit of breathing room," Loucy said. "We're a group that sometimes struggles to stay mentally disciplined in playing short, quick passes on the ground as opposed to long balls. When you have that breathing room, you can settle down and you can play to your strengths, which is ball control and possession."

"In the last 15 minutes, we really did put a lot more pressure on Beekmantown," McAuliffe said. "We just could not get the goal. Beekmantown is well-organized defensively, so it's a testament to them that they were able to keep the lead."

The Hornets were firing on all cylinders, outshooting Canton by a 25-4 margin.
"Our touches were what I wanted them to be," LaRose said. "We were passing into space, we were anticipating well and we were beating Canton to the ball. That was the difference in the first half."
"My hands are going to be extremely full," LaRose said. "It will be a good game. We're going to have to bring our A-plus game."
