Despite the defeat, John Brown’s head coach Jason Beschta said he knew it would be a battle until the end.
“After watching the previous matches and saw so many talents on this island, we knew that we will have to fight hard for it,” he said. “But what better way for us to finish this trip than for the game to go down the wire.”
