"I am incredibly proud of the team today! It was great to come back from a 0-3 deficit but I am most proud of how we did it. We remained composed and played some beautiful soccer in the process. While we understand you only win by scoring goals, we encourage our girls to be more than athletes. Thankfully the team was rewarded for their style and more importantly composure and class."
"While recognition needs to be given to Mariah and Tucan for their goals, this was a collective team win! Everyone stepped into their role and adjusted as needed without complaint. With that, I do want to specifically highlight Lola's performance. She came onto the field in goal with no warm-up and kept us in the game with 2 decisive saves."
"Though we are excited to have won the game, we must quickly push this game behind us and look forward to Saturday's match up v USAO."
