COACHES' CORNER
Head coach
Holly Cox: "I felt like we didn't get off to a good start tonight and that kind of carried over throughout the rest of the game. McKendree battled tough and were physical with us tonight and credit to them as they won a lot of the battles. We didn't really create many clear cut chance for ourselves offensively. The good news is that there's always another game and now we need to turn our attention to Sunday. We need a bounce-back effort from our team and I think we'll be ready to come out and work hard to get the result we want."

UP NEXT
UIndy will try to avoid a third straight defeat on Sunday afternoon when they head to Springfield, Ill. to take on the Illinois Springfield Prairie Stars. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. eastern time.
