Coach’s quote: “It was nice that our midfielders put some points on the board for us this afternoon. We are always stressing they are an important part of our attack. We had some late defensive breakdowns and props to Plymouth for capitalizing on them. We need to pick up a sense of urgency going into our last week of the regular season.” – MV’s Jen Colgan
