QUOTES

Head Coach Nathan Thackeray

On his message to the team…

“The message after the match was the same that I gave at halftime. We can’t let teams stay around. I was really happy with the performance. I thought that we completely dominated the game, very similar to what we played like when we played at their place, but probably even more dominant. We created a number of chances, box entries, shots, and shots on target. We’ve got to execute better.”

Forward Jasmine Hamid

On how her transition to Dallas has been…

“The team has been so welcoming. Everybody on the staff has been great, just getting me comfortable and playing and stuff like that. I’ve just been adjusting to everything and it’s going well, I like it a lot. Obviously it’s a transition going from one place to another so quickly, especially this late in the season. I’m grateful, excited to be here, and excited to see how this can grow from here.”

Defender Lauren Flynn

On the team’s performance and Carolina’s late goal…

“If we finish our chances, we don’t put ourselves in the position where that’s a game-changing goal. I think our defense did have a solid performance, we just have to see it through all 90 minutes, and we didn’t do that today. We wanted to make sure we got back to our identity and I think we did that today. It’s just a tough result because I think we did play well and we did work hard.”
