Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Mat Dunn said, "Today was a great win for the squad, everyone was part of the win. We have talked about how hard our schedule is by playing so many top 25 teams. It's really big for us to keep a clean sheet against the third-ranked team in the country. I thought Matilda was great and Linnea was the best player on the field as she ran their back line all over the field. We will enjoy this tonight but another massive game awaits us tomorrow against another top 25 team."
