 When I asked Hope how she felt the game went, She said, “I feel like we played with a lot of aggression and power. We had some missed opportunities but still pushed forward. The energy we had in the second half was crucial and we could’ve used that in the first half.” I  then asked Ramos what the team is looking for moving forward. Hope said, “ I expect the team to reflect on the things we need to work on and to keep the energy we have right now. Mentally preparing ourselves and getting our head right will be huge. Having sportsmanship, Good mentality and working hard in practice is what we need.”
