QUOTABLES

"Good hard fought win on the road tonight. Caroline had good composure in the box to find Courtney who tucked it in the corner. I thought we did well connecting passes and being patient knowing when to go forward and when to just bounce the ball and keep it moving to shift their players. Energy from the players was incredible tonight both on the field and the sideline. Everyone's role matters and is critical to our process so that was great to see. Proud of his group. They worked for this result tonight. We will enjoy this one and get back on the road Saturday at High Point." - Head Coach Michelle Demko
