QUOTABLE
TWU Coach Graham Roxburgh
"It was a little bit of an interesting game in that we started a little flat and justifiably Victoria took an early lead because of that. It was poor defending on our part but a great finish by them. But credit to us, we scored a wonderful goal off a great corner from Danielle that was difficult to defend, so it was a great job getting back into it.

"I thought we were pretty much in control for most of the game without creating great chances. I thought our decision making tonight was really poor, and maybe that is a little because Victoria pressed us and made it difficult to play.

"Overall, I'm pleased we came away with a win. The last goal by Jenaya was great, which she has done two or three times already this season. All that said, we're going to have to be a whole lot sharper tomorrow."
