From Head Coach Travis McCorkle: "Obviously, with four goals within the first 25 minutes, it was a great start for us. Mia gets a couple of bombs in there that are up 90. Mariah does a great job you we flicked on a ball that Abby G. sent to Heise, who flicks it on to Mariah who was wide open at the back post. We are trying to get better at that with Mariah being able to have that run.I was really happy to see that. In the second half, we didn't get a goal, but I don't think that we gave up many good shots either, and we were trying to put in some other players to see what they could do by keeping possession and defending. I am really pleased with the subs coming in and not giving up a goal. I was really happy for Tasha you know she has been in and out of the lineup really happy to see her response today about how she got in and played a very good game. Exactly what we needed at home and on homecoming week. We are happy for the fans, and we are happy for ourselves."
