DC Power Football Club Post-Match Quotes

Interim Head Coach Phil Nana

On the first half of play...

"In possession there was so much space in behind," Nana said. "I was surprised they played that way with some of the players we have. I thought we could have scored a lot more than we did in the first half...For our team, our DNA is we like to play through the lines but sometimes we could just play direct and be able to get in behind. Our decision making in the final third wasn't the best, it wasn't poor. I know Gianna had shots but she had players that were open that she should've passed the ball to. Two easy goals for Loza Abera. Personally, I wasn't happy with that. Nonetheless, the team played well in that first half."

On what went wrong for Power FC in the second half, resulting in the final 3-3 result...

"We needed to be more direct," Nana said. "We needed our execution of those long balls in to be better and we need the timing of our runs to be better. We just got it all wrong in the second half. It was a slight tactical change in their shape which took away our ability to press their two center backs and allowed them to have a bit more possession than they did in the first half."

On next steps before gearing up for the upcoming season...

"The players and the staff deserve some reprieve, they deserve some rest," Nana said. "They need it. It's been a very long season for us emotionally as well as physically."

Forward Gianna Gourley

On what set her up for her first-half brace...

"First, it's just the pass that set me up," Gourley said. "Loza had a wonderful vision to play me through. I just saw the open lane to the goal and sprinted as hard as I could to get there. The first one as well, it was a perfect ball and makes my job a lot easier."

On the difference in opportunities in the second half...

"It's been a long season and I think fatigue set in a bit," Gourley said. "We have a lot of girls away and it showed that we were tired. We had to adapt a bit and Lexington did a good job of changing to be more disciplined. We still could've gotten behind more. I was offsides quite a few times and that's something that's been an issue in several games and needs to be fixed in the offseason."

On building on her offensive momentum and first professional brace ahead of the upcoming season...

"It's hard to ride the wave for a long time so it's definitely nice to get that first brace and I hope there will be many more," Gourley said. "There's a lot of mistakes that I made. I'm happy, but I'm also not really satisfied. I think just going into the upcoming season, there's a lot of things that I need to work on and I know the coaching staff will help me with those set things. I'm still hungry, It's my first season. I just want to keep going, keep getting better and keep grinding."
