QUOTE OF THE GAME
"Southern Nazarene should take some credit from their effort today. They forced us into being desperate, and we found a way to carve out a result. I think we did well to get into dangerous areas, and eventually Destinee broke through and created a penalty kick, followed by a great 1v1 finish around the goalkeeper. We will keep improving and look forward to what's next." – Head coach
Damian Clarke
