Postgame Quotes from Head Coach Marybeth Freeman
>"I was happy to see that we were more aggressive in the attacking 25 which was evident in the amount of corners we got. It was great to see us generating those attacking corner opportunities."
>"Taylor (Alba) had a very good game in the middle of the field. Kat (Edgar) continues to be a strong force on both sides of the ball, and Maris remains very disciplined in her skills and provides us with chances on the attack. Nina (Carotenuto) made some good key plays in goal after subbing in. Lucy (Reed), when she has the ball she's an absolute threat. Her finishing skills in recent games are what we need for that competitive piece moving forward."
