Beckie Francis Postgame Quotes:
"I was pleased with how hard we played for the whole 40 minutes. We had little goals for every four minutes and I felt like we achieved them most of the time. I was really pleased, especially with these two; Victoria and Elena had a really clean, sharp stat line and I was really impressed."
