QUOTE SHEET
Utah Royals FC 1-0 Portland Thorns FC
Head Coach Laura Harvey
“It feels great. We knew that it wasn’t going to be the prettiest game. Just with how both teams have had to prepare, coming into the game without all of our players the whole time, one of the things that we said we needed to do and worked on was to be really brave playing out of the back. I thought Barnhart was exceptional tonight. It wasn't always going to be easy for her, they put us under a lot of pressure, and they also have such strength physically in the air that we knew we couldn't compete with.
