QUOTE OF THE DAY
"The ball was played in and Natasha (Kai) chased the ball down and kept it alive for us. Without her working hard to keep the play going, the ball would have never fallen to me. We've all been doing a good job of creating chances in recent games, and I was glad to be able to put one in the back of the net."
- Sky Blue FC midfielder Julianne Sitch comments on scoring Sky Blue FC's goal against Saint Louis
