What She Said

"It was great opportunity to finally be home for a game and Adrian is always a high-level match for us. They certainly showcased some talent tonight, but as a group, our intensity and desire in the attacking third must be more consistent. We've been having troubles with starting the game on a good note and we need our players to showcase more personality and decisiveness. Our goalkeeper came up huge on multiple occasions and we are happy with our defensive organization, however, we must have better cohesion as a whole for Saturday's match and beyond."

- Head Coach Meghan Gorsuch
