CONFER COMMENTS
"It wasn't our best today but we found a way to get the win on the road. We will take it and move on. We increased pressure in the second half and thought that was a nice response after a very sluggish first half. Lisa Cedeno's goal is the response you want to see from your team captain, after going down 1-0 early. Two weeks ago we were 0-3 and today we are 4-3. We will continue to work hard and I believe our best is still ahead of us." - Head coach Robin Confer

UP NEXT
The Ospreys return home for quick break from the road, hosting Webber International on Thursday (Sept. 13) at 7 p.m.
