Coach Amy Vaughan - We are very proud of the team, and everyone played their part. We didn't concede a goal in open play and it was a target of ours, which we are very happy with. Losing on PKs is always a tough way to lose, but both teams push each other right to the end and we look forward to moving into next week.
