"I feel like we had a lot of momentum the whole game, but obviously Portland is still dangerous even when you have the momentum. It felt like we were knocking on the door, but I don't feel like we had a lot of clear chances. The goal, Delanie [Sheehan] did all the heavy lifting there, served it on a platter for me."
"Sheehan came off the bench in the 90th minute, replacing captain Lynn Williams -- another USWNT player. Seven minutes later, with her back to goal, near the endline and seemingly trapped, Sheehan broke free from a two-on-one, evading two-time World Cup winner Becky Sauerbrunn's tackle to find Lavelle near the six-yard box. The goal in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time was the second latest playoff goal in regulation time in NWSL history, per Opta."
