POSTGAME QUOTE
 
Pacific head coach Adam Reeves following the match:
"I'm disappointed with the result. Tonight we created our own misery with conceding three very preventable goals. Any time you gift a team three goals, it is always going to be tough to come back from. Ultimately, we have to look at ourselves and be a much more difficult to play against. We created some fantastic opportunities and we saw a lot of improvement going forward, but ultimately you have to defend much better than we did. Our preseason is now done, and we will be ready to start conference play next Sunday.
 
UP NEXT
 
And next Sunday, February 28, is the 2021 WCC opener for Pacific. The Tigers host San Diego at Knoles Field, with a kickoff scheduled for 11 a.m.
