Post Match Quotes: Sounders Select Women Head Coach Chance Fry:
"We were able to control the game from the start. The women had an outstanding work rate. Bilanski hit a great shot for her goal. I thought several of our players had outstanding games. Starters (Jen) Birks, (Nicole) Martinez with Katie (Miyake) off the bench all were exceptional. We're on a little roll right now, which is great."
