""This has certainly opened up the year with what we've identified as the key themes to take us through to [World Cup] qualification," Hayes said."
""This camp has given us the reference points to be able to say those are the things we need to add to go to the next level.""
""It's been the best camp I've seen from Croix in terms of her approach, her application," Hayes added."
""She's quick, she's clever. She can unlock things. She can see a pass. I can feel that Croix is going to take another level in her game.""
