💬 Summer Yates: 'Super excited to be back' after record-breaking win in Houston
“Obviously pleased with the win, pleased with the three points. We continue our momentum from the last away game against Kansas so overall, pleased with result. I think we can play a lot better, the performance wasn't quite there. But one thing with this team is their attitude, their mentality. Even towards the end, the calmness to keep the ball and run down the clock was great. To keep a clean sheet away from home and then we got the goal that we much needed. We rode our luck, as well, with them [Houston] hitting the post and it not going in. But sometimes you need that. Sometimes you need a bit of luck on your side. So overall, pleased with the result, but a lot to build on moving forward.”
