From Travis McCorkle: Q: Coming off a 2-0 win over TWU to start conference play how important was it to start on the right foot? "We didn't play poorly in our last two home matches we just were getting draws we couldn't find a way to get a goal. I loved our second goal it sloppy it was a mess but it was an effort goal I thought she did great to get that goal. Q: Your offense started getting into form today creating many opportunities with a brace from Tina Clark how do you rate the performance? "I mean they did a great job I'm always challenging her to become more of a factor because I think she can be on set pieces and in the penalty area. I was really happy to see her make a difference up there this afternoon. Our attack was better this afternoon, but I think that it can still be better for us to get more chances to our forwards and wingers to score.
