TWU Head Coach Graham Roxburgh
"Super pleased with so many elements of our game tonight. We defended really well and generated lots of chances. I thought our ball possession was better, even though we can still improve on that.
Sierra Halldorson was fantastic as the engine in the midfield, and it was great to get some young kids some minutes.
"Overall a good game against a good opponent with two good teams just getting back to playing soccer."
