Quote of the Week:
“It’s a quick turnaround. It was only yesterday we were in Panama, but this is the schedule, this is the league, and we have to move on. It’s an opportunity for us to bounce back from a disappointing result [in NWSL play]. I think the performance was there; I think we had good intentions to go out there and beat Bay FC, but it wasn’t meant to be. We got a positive result this past Tuesday in Panama. We want to continue that momentum at home in front of our own fans. North Carolina is always a tough opponent, and they’ve got a set way of playing regardless of who’s in charge. So, it should turn out to be an exciting game for everyone.”
- Head Coach Seb Hines
