Fontaine on Last Time
"It wasn't our prettiest performance but we found a way to win and that's what matters. We created a lot of chances but just couldn't find the back of the net. Credit to Asheville for putting us on the back foot to start with. They have had a tremendous season. I am glad we have some time to clean up some things before the semifinal game. The environment we experienced today is what you expect in the championship part of the season and that's what today was. Proud of the fight we showed today as we will need that going into the tournament."
