Michelle Lenard on the game …
"I was really happy with the way the girls came out today. We set our target early on, we want to be attacking-minded, we want to take chances early and even before we were scoring goals, we were taking chances. I thought we got off on the right foot, we did really well in the first half and obviously scored some fantastic goals, so I thought we put together a good 90 minutes. We also had a lot of players play good minutes off the bench. We learned some hard lessons at the end of the game about how to manage the game, but those are lessons that we need to learn now, early."
