Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Mat Dunn said, "It is always tough when you play against Johnson & Wales. The first half went how I thought it would, they stayed compact in the back, limited us to long shots on goal, and closed us down. However, we stayed patient and broke them down in the second half. After the first goal, the game opened up and we got into our rhythm. It is good for Cooper to get the game winning goal and her fifth of the season. Going to a two attacker formation along with Amanda was good for us, and they are starting to form a good partnership up top."
