In a tightly contested opening half of postseason play, Lexington broke through in the 40th minute as forward Sarah Griffith found the back of the net.

QUOTES

Head Coach Nathan Thackeray

On coaching adjustments during the match...

"We had to make some tweaks at halftime. Lexington is a very good team and very deserving to be in the championship. We tried to push our line a bit higher defensively, which led to more takeaways for us. After their second goal, I think that we played quite well and kept the ball in their half with scoring chances. Overall, I thought it was a pretty even game."

Forward Bethany Bos

On the season as a whole...

"I'm really proud of our group; the girls we have are very tight-knit and it's special to be a part of. A lot of unfortunate injuries in the spring kind of changed the way we did things. People stepped up and filled in the gaps where we needed it. You could tell that we lost some of the depth that we had due to key players going down, but the fact that we could still make the playoffs and make it to this point says a lot about this group.

Defender Cyera Hintzen

On Dallas making the playoffs in back-to-back seasons...

"I think that making a playoff push in front of our home fans in back-to-back seasons just shows our grit and resilience as a club. These past two years, it's come down to the final match. In the future, we want that mindset to transfer over into the first round of playoffs, just digging deep and having that resilience to keep battling and make it past the semifinals."
