COACHES TAKE
"A very physical match, two teams that wanted to win and know the importance of this game. Our attack needs to do a little bit more, we had 20 shots and only one goal, I have challenged them to do more," said Belles Head Coach Travis McCorkle.  "We need to keep possession a bit better in the midfield, we got away with a couple of little mistakes. Our defense is playing well, but sometimes they are a little quiet for me. Kira (Miller) played exceptional again, no mistakes, no doubts. There was another goal in that game for us, if you let teams live especially down the line, you will get punished."
 
NEXT UP
