Minnesota Notre Dame women’s soccer NCAA Tournament quotes:
Minnesota head coach Mikki Denney Wright:
“I don’t think we could have given any more. I think [our team] just poured their hearts out. I’m so proud of this group, and the only sad thing is that the season had to come to an end.”
“I give credit to Notre Dame they’re a great team. It was an awesome game, and we knew it would be just like that. I’m so proud of the effort our kids show, because it was extraordinary.”
On the defense:
“Our mentality was that we were coming to play. We never sat back, we played our game the whole way we played to win to from moment one. It’s unfortunate how it ended up, but I can’t say enough about how this group played.”
Minnesota keeper Lindsey Dare:
On Minnesota’s defensive effort:
“Our defense played like they always do unbelievable. I’ve been saying this all year they’re brilliant, they’re strong, they’re smart they keep their head about them and they were absolutely stellar tonight.”
“Notre Dame is absolutely one of the best offensive teams in the country, and it took a [penalty kick] to score on us. I think that says a lot about our defenders... It was a helluva ride.”
