Post-Match Quotes:
Head Coach Keidane McAlpine
On the team's performance…
"I thought today was a really solid performance and a really good team performance. I thought we left some things on the table in Thursday's game, and I thought today we executed better in our build-up in getting to this place we wanted to get to to get the isolations we wanted. I was really happy with today's performance from a lot of different people too which made it even better. Extremely happy for Margie (Detrizio) being able to beat her old team and score so that's one of those things you wish for when you leave, you want to play well against the team that you left, you love them but at the same time you want to make sure you play well, and I was really happy for her."
