QUOTES FROM COACH

"We didn't start how we are capable of starting," head coach Ashley Smeltzer-Kraft said. "However, we tied the game up just before halftime and took back control in the second half. It was a good offensive effort, we score a lot of different ways and got a lot of women involved. This match was a good test and a good way to prepare for Friday."
