Commented USA head coach Graham Winkworth, "This weekend has been a joy to attend as coach of South Alabama. The girls from both Alabama FC and the Gulf Coast Texans played with heart, passion and class. I was very proud sitting in the stands watching a very entertaining game of soccer. I am very excited that the girls have been playing a quality level of soccer this summer and cannot wait now for the whole squad to get here for preseason.
 
"I feel that we have good competition for places on the roster all over the park," he added. "It will be great having such depth in the squad."
