""It was a really important win. I think we know the attitude of the team. We'd seen it a lot last year. In tough moments, we always rise. You can never count us out, and I think we felt that [on Wednesday]. We were really dominant in our second-half performance. Now, we want to build on that going forward. We can score all we want, but if we're not defensively solid, I don't believe you win championships and you win tournaments.""
""I think our backline and our back four were really solid, and really important for us as well. Tough conditions, but our fans were amazing. They were with us through it all. It was so nice. Not an easy night to come out, [it was] freezing. But it's amazing to have their support; they're so loud, they carry us through the tough moments. They're really special.""
