The rhythm for our team in the first half was strong. We are starting to see some personality emerge and in the second half we were determined to pull things together. The game was really flowing together for us.
I was pleased with the response that my team showed after giving up a goal. They put their shoulders back and fought harder, and ultimately that's what you are looking for from a young team.
Ashley brings National Team potential. She has tremendous skill with the ball, great variety and range in distribution and a comprehensive vision of the field. We anticipate her to have an immediate impact in our midfield.
Kristin has a courageous mentality. She is not afraid to take on opponents one-on-one and engage physically. Her role on the team could be in the midfield or in the frontline as a wide player.
