QUOTES
Head Coach Pauline MacDonald
Thoughts on the win versus Brooklyn…
“It’s always really difficult when you play a team in back-to-back games, especially after a very successful victory at home. Tonight, we knew that they were going to come after us and it was going to be a very physical game. We wanted to stick by our philosophy in the way that we want to play. In the end, credit to Brooklyn, they continued to try and continued to throw numbers forward. It wasn’t particularly pretty defending from us in moments, but it takes grit, determination and hard work. I’m absolutely delighted.”
Midfielder Camryn Lancaster
Thoughts on tonight’s match…
“I thought our press was really good. It wasn’t the prettiest game but I feel like we came out, put in all our effort and dominated tonight.”
On her transition from college to the professional level…
“I feel like TCU really prepared me for any moment that I’ve faced. Being in the pros now, I’ve only been here for a couple months, but I feel really prepared coming into this with the intensity and speed of play. The girls here have made it easy and I’m just blessed to be on an awesome first professional team where I’m learning a lot from both the older players and younger players.”
