QUOTABLES
Head coach Steve Voltz

"It is the same story as out shooting our opposition again today. We rewarded ourselves for our effort from the way we played. Our mindset and mentality were just like this was a must-win for us. Our leadership was great in the locker room, pregame, practice, and training this week from that standpoint. I'm just happy for our women. They have just been doing the work and not getting the reward so super happy for them. Emma Duguay just got a shutout and the defensive effort was outstanding. Kyra Taylor with two incredible goals. Overall, we are still here and they can't write us off yet so super proud and happy for them. They've been doing the work and finally got to see the reward."
