Coach's comments on the win...

"I thought our team showed great mental toughness as our players handled the heat very well. We created some very good chances to score in both halves and Maddie and Sam both finished their goals with great composure and skill. On the other side of the ball, we defended well for the full 90minutes. It's very exciting to see the team playing so well together with great contributions from both starters and subsitutes."
