Post Match Quotes:

James Chambers:

Overall Thoughts:

"To be completely honest with you, the main thing is to win. Challenge the boys, and they responded really well. Good for the players who performed. I'm really pleased for them."

On prepping to go against FC Tulsa:

"Luke (Spencer) has them (FC Tulsa) extremely well drilled. They're very difficult to break down. They don't concede a lot of goals, and when they do, they're very resilient. They're coming back. So for us to keep a clean sheet and obviously win 2-0. They posed us some threats, and the boys, I think, stood up to it. Garven's (Metusala) header at the end to clear the corner is immense, and it helps us in the transition. But again, look, it's one win. Let's just relax a little bit."

Quenzi Huerman

Overall Thoughts:

"Obviously, they're a very good team (Tulsa). They've been on a 14-game unbeaten streak. We need to get a few more wins. Credit to all of our fans who managed to stay, no matter what the weather would throw at us. Proud that we managed to get the three points."

On the assist from Jonas Fjeldberg:

"Yeah, we've been working so much on those back post runs. And honestly, my only thought when he gets the ball down the line is I need to make it to that back post. And then he delivered an unbelievable ball. But then I told myself, "I can't mess this one up," so I just decided to take a good touch."

Jonas Fjeldberg

On assisting Quenxi Huerman's goal:

"I know Quenzi (Huerman) is going to be on the back post. When the surface is like this, it's slick. I can put it on the ground. So yeah, I saw Quenzi. I looked at the ball, and hopefully it didn't go to Cowboys, it went to Quenzi's feet. It ended up in the right spot."
