They Said It
Head Coach Samantha Thomsit
"We felt confident going into it. It was a case of we needed to get the job done and come away with a win. I feel like we had a lot of opportunities and probably could've scored a few more goals with a bit more discipline in front of the goal, but happy to get a clean sheet and score three goals."
