QUOTES

Head Coach/General Manager Chris Petrucelli

On the intensity...

"Oh boy, it was kind of crazy. Very physical with a lot of stoppages and very little rhythm. I feel like we handled the environment very well because it was chippy. We were able to get behind them a number of times."

Defender Maya McCutcheon

On the goal...

"Most of the time when you play defender, you don't get a lot of attacking moments, so I was really happy I got to capitalize on being higher up on the field, and it was just fun playing the six tonight. You get a chance to get on the ball a little bit more. I got some churns and bigger opportunities that I got to play. So I had a lot of fun playing it. And then our defense was able to keep a shutout. I think we were just really aggressive. We never hesitated. I think a lot of times in our game last week, we were a bit hesitant and how other people beat us the ball, where everyone just ran through second balls tonight."

Goalkeeper Rylee Foster

On the team tonight...

"The intelligence that we had to finish the game was solid. It's really easy to get caught up in the drama of that game. Players were tossing themselves about, diving and everything. ‚¬©There's some really hard tackles that were put in. But for the girls to rise above that, not stoop down to their level, and just try to play as much football as we can because we knew that the more we string passes together, that's how we're going to win."
