DC Power Football Club Post-Match Quotes

Interim Head Coach Phil Nana

On the overall results against Tampa Bay...

"It was a tough game," Nana said. "The players tried their best, we just came up second best tonight. We seemed a bit tired and they seemed more fresh and more energetic than us. Sometimes that's part of the game."

On Morgan Aquino's presence in goal...

"She's played incredibly well and led incredibly well so very happy with her," Nana said. "It's unfortunate to get two goals scored on her because it's not a reflection of the type of game she had."

On Claire Constant's performance on the back line...

"Claire played extremely well as usual, always the anchor in the back line," Nana said. "They overloaded a lot centrally and put us in situations where they played direct and Claire was our last line of defense and she did the best she could do. Again, the result's unfortunate but it's not for the lack of trying or for the lack of effort."

On the game plan ahead of Power FC's final match of the season against Lexington...

"Going into Lexington, getting some rest because it's a short week for us and you can see the lack of rest is daunting, especially this part of the season," Nana said. "The girls were tired, they were exhausted. Get some reprieve, a couple of games to recover and then go to Lexington and look to get a win to close up the season."

Goalkeeper Morgan Aquino

On the match results against Tampa Bay...

"We're all a little bit disappointed," Aquino said. "We know what we can do on the pitch and today we were just outplayed. For a lot of us girls, it's our last game as a team for the season and we were hoping for a little bit more and to go out with our heads held high."

On Power FC's significant progress since the start of the season...

"It's just about controlling what we can control," Aquino said. "Also knowing that we have to forget about the things we can't control and put on a performance each week for each other that we're proud of."

On the key focus heading into the upcoming season...

"Our main goal is to make the top four in the finals but putting on performances week in and week out that we're proud of," Aquino said. "Just playing for each other, playing as a team and with that desire to win each week."
