What they had to say:

Head Coach Carlos Llamosa

(On shifting focus to the next match...)

"It's amazing to have that first win of the season in front of our fans, a full stadium ... Now we turn the page and we focus on our next opponent in Pittsburgh. It's a good team, difficult team to play against and we're using this week to get ready for Saturday ... It's a team who runs a lot, a lot of physicality from them. A team that has had the same coach for many, many years, so they play as a group. They play as a team, so it's very difficult when we face a team like that so we have to be at our top level to break it down."

(On the team gaining confidence in its first win ...)

"It's important to get that confidence as a team that we can be strong at home and get wins at home ... That game against Monterey Bay wasn't easy. It was a tough match, I was glad to come 1-0, to keep the shutout. It was a team who attacked a lot, but we kept them at zero shots on goal, so I'm glad to feel that, but now it's a different team and a different approach. We have to be 100 percent, as I said, no time to relax. This is a long season. We have to be mentally and physically at our top to go through the season if we want to achieve something good this year."
