COMMENTS FROM COACH REUTEMANN:
"We needed to be at our best today with standout performances and I think we fell just short of that. Not finishing early chances really had an effect on the way the game played out. It became a back and forth transition style of game and the legs went a bit heavy. We have played a string of tough matches in a short time and will need to fix the mistakes and missed potential positive moments. If we do this we are confident the outcomes will change in our favor."
UP NEXT FOR THE BRONCOS
Delhi Men's Soccer returns to Neil Riddell Field next, hosting Utica on Tuesday, September 19th.
