Coach Bigg's Comment on the Win
"We started quickly and played with a lot of character today," Coach Biggs said.
"We created a few good chances in their box in each half and Maddie and Emily combined well for a smartly taken free kick goal to put us ahead 1-0 before the half. The shutout was well earned too, as we were again very tough defensively - both from the run of play and from their free kicks and corners."
