QUOTES
Head Coach/General Manager Chris Petrucelli
On the match...
"You saw our players sliding, diving, blocking shots, and things like that. That sort of mentality is effective and produces results like this. We created opportunities and had chances to score a couple."
Goalkeeper Rylee Foster
Thoughts on the team's performance...
"Just the grit. It wasn't a pretty performance, but I think what we were missing prior to the winning streak we've gone on was that resilience. Being ruthless in the box and putting our bodies on the line on both sides of the pitch is what you saw from us today."
Midfielder Lexi Missimo
On the win...
"I'm just so thankful and excited to be back on the pitch. To be able to contribute a goal to this team is everything and more. Once we get our groove, I think this team will strive."
