Head Coach Richard Moodie
On the match: "It's great to be back at The Cage – first official home game for us really. I thought we played really well against a good team and we posed them a lot of threats. I thought we asked a lot of questions of them. The goalkeeper had to come up with a couple of big saves at the end –
Sydney Ham's shot comes to mind. These games without overtime is different. We used to rely on that extra 20 minutes to get the job done and we don't have that now, so realizing in the last five to 10 minutes, we need to be more aggressive in the final third. Proud of the girls."
