“I’m glad I did.”
“Whitney’s goal was
hit-or-miss, but she struck it
well and found the post and
stepped up when we needed
it,” Turner said.
Parker said he could see
some frustration in his team
following the score.
“That (goal) was one of
those where it’s a very lucky
ball,” Parker said. “Very
rarely do you see a ball hit
the post and go in, normally
those bounce out. But that’s
the game, sometimes you
get that bounce and some-
times you don’t.”
