Quotes
"Daniel Webster is a solid team with the coaching experience to back it up. Most of the game today was wide open. We finally settled in midway through the second half and played a better brand of soccer. Just had one of those days where we could not find the back of the net. The team and coaching staff left the field frustrated with the draw, but more than ready to take the intensity onto the field this Saturday." – Nichols head coach Chris Traina
