HEAD COACH QUOTES

"We were solid off the draw today, and it made the difference," said head coach Bree Galloway. "It was great to have seven different players scored, six of which posting multiple goals. Defensively, we shut down their leading scorer – only allowing her to post three goals. We settled down, played smart and had fun playing the game we love."
