Quotable
"We've faced a lot of adversity and with our 11th game on the road, today was no different. We put ourselves in an early hole but we dug out with some really good performances all over the field. We played very well in the second half and had some point blank chances. But we like to make it challenging, and I am very proud of how we competed the whole way through. Colleen scored a great goal coming from the weak side, after great passes from Page and Segan, she placed it beautifully with a lot of composure. Great team effort. - Head coach Julie Shackford
