QUOTES

Head Coach Pauline MacDonald

On Sealey Strawn's goal and tonight's win...

"I think when young players get the opportunity to be involved in international play and then come back into training, there's always a bit of excitement and confidence. Young players play without fear and every time we've given Sealey an opportunity, she's played without fear. I'm just so happy for her this evening. This win puts us in a good place and I'm delighted to still be undefeated at home and for Madi getting the clean sheet. We just want to build on the progress we're making right now. "

Forward Allie Thornton

On picking up the three points...

"I still think this is the beginning as we are just starting to click and starting to gel. Not to say that there won't be bumps in the road, but I think the trajectory is up and there are good things to come."

Forward Sealey Strawn

On scoring her first career professional goal...

"As soon as it hit the back of the net, I was jumping over the keeper and as I landed, that's when it hit me. I let out the biggest yell. I was so happy having the game winning goal. I'm not only happy for myself but for my team and the excitement is through the roof."

Goalkeeper Madison White

On the importance of tonight's match...

"I think we've had a lot of ties, a lot more than we wanted. We probably should've come out with wins in a lot of those. It feels good. We needed to get three points, especially with how close the standings are. It feels good to get three points and finally know that everything is starting to click as we move up the standings."
