QUOTES

Head Coach Pauline MacDonald

On how it felt to make her home debut as head coach...

"I think tonight there were a lot of things that were really, really special. It's been a long wait for me to take the team here. The occasion of creating awareness for breast cancer is fantastic. The fans that came out for us tonight were fantastic. I think that the team brought a fantastic performance for those fans and hopefully we'll have many more evenings like tonight. It feels incredible. It feels like home."

Forward Allie Thornton

On the team's 17 shots (seven on target) tonight..."I think that it says a lot about our intensity and our style as a team. We are looking to go forward and we are looking to be dominant in the press to create those chances. Statistically the more you create chances, the more likely you're going to score. Two out of 17 doesn't sound great but I think we're building on this and more chances will come."
