What they had to say:

Head Coach Alen Marcina

(On the offensive explosion in Charleston ...)

"We've been consistent as I said from when we weren't getting the results, we were doing a lot of the right things just unfortunately the ball wasn't falling for us. If we could go back a month that's the exact same statement I made then and now scoring seven goals against the best team in the eastern conference. We were doing a lot of great things, we have to be resilient that's a good example it is staying confident in the face of adversity and challenges, continue to focus on what we can control and we did and we executed obviously quite well."

Goalkeeper Jordan Farr

(On playing a struggling Detroit City team...)

"For a lot of teams I've played on you have to kind of find the motivation and desire for each game, like it's easy to play the big ones it's harder to play in the less important ones ... as far as the regards of the table, but for us every single game is important because we look at the season holistically and we want to have the most points by the end of the year, want to host all the way through playoffs and in order to do that it means winning in each game and keeping a good goal differential. And so it's not hard for this team to find motivation and to get up for any type of game, regardless of the standings so that's why I love - as a keeper you want to play on those teams because the emphasis on defending and executing every single game and not letting up is really high and Alen does a really good job at keeping us in that motivation."
