Head coach
John Connor also praised the performance of goalkeeper
Melvin Bonilla and right back
Brian Beltran.
"It was a good start for us with everyone able to see action, but we have bigger goals in mind," Connor commented. "Many of our guys have been in this position before so there's very little time to enjoy the win. We have get right back at it and work hard to get to the level we want.
"Our goal is to be able to celebrate at the end of November."
