QUOTES & NOTES
 
"We lost tonight because of errors and we have to be able to play against better teams and not make those errors. Obviously, good players force you into those errors. Number Nine [for Sacred Heart] scored four goals against us, so she is either really, really good or our errors have helped her look really, really good. So, it is a combination of good players who will test your talents, and they certainly forced us into errors." – Head Coach Drayson Hounsome
