Goalkeeper Ashley Kingsbury acknowledged that that might have played some part. "We are a young group so maybe it was a little bit of nerves we had to get out of the way in the first half. But once we conceded, you really saw us like, 'We got to go now. There's no time to waste, our season is on the line.' Hopefully we got that out and we can be a little sharper in the semifinal."
Forward Trinity Rodman mentioned the emotional intensity of playoffs, saying, "I think the hardest part about playoffs is that it can get very distracting, very claustrophobic in a way. I feel like it is a lot of emotions. There is a lot going on and just the high level that we are playing at."
