"It was a good day for everyone on the team to have the opportunity to play and get valuable minutes. Emma Sanchez got her first start today and did a good job for us at the center back position. We had five different goalscorers today which is always good to see, more players are adding in on the goals which is important coming late into the season. We had some nice play in the first half and our in-play crosses have been dangerous for opponents." Coach Ovendale.
