QUOTABLE
"It doesn't matter the sport, winning on the road is really hard. And then when you add the fact that it's a league match, it makes it increasingly difficult. I'm so proud of our defensive effort today, both our team defense and our keeper. We got that early goal and gained more confidence. I loved our effort in the second half, being where you had to be to get the second goal." head coach Angela Berry White said.
