“Every player contributed in today’s victory,” she added. “We made a lot of substitutions to try to deal with the heat. Players were asked to different positions and everyone stepped up. Extremely proud of the effort from every player. We passed the ball well and helped make opportunities for lots of different scorers. Thankful to get the first game out of the way and get those first game jitters shook off. Thankful for a first win.”
