“They were very sad. But we haven't had her all year long. (Thursday) was just her third match after surgery on her knee. We lost her after the first match of the season. But she's the heart and pride of this team.”
“That's the way the games always go. The players have a lot of pride and take this seriously. There's a lot of pride on the Newsome sideline. They've been to a final four. It's the same here.”
“That was probably our best chance and we took advantage of it. Like them we had our share of chances but the defenses and the keepers kept coming up big.”
“I thought we had much more of the play in the second half. It was definitely better after the goal. Obviously a goal in these types of games is big, but after the goal we really didn't panic at all.”
“I was pretty pleased with the defensive part of it, we just have to tighten it up a little. [Coca] has just been maturing game after game after game for us. She's a student of the game, and there are very few kids that take it that seriously.”
“We have been knocking on the door for the last three or four years. We feel this team was knocking on the door last year and that we had a stronger team this year. We wanted it.”
