Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Mat Dunn said, "Happy to get a good result on the road with key players missing. We now get a week off to rest and recover as we make a big push in the last three games. Nina had a big save on a penalty kick when the game was tied and it was a save that gave us extra motivation, that we lacked in the first half."
