DC Power FC Post-Match Quotes
Interim Head Coach Phil Nana
On DC Power Football Club’s overall performance against Spokane…
“For the team, it wasn’t for the lack of trying,” Nana said. “I’m still proud of what they were able to do out there. The resiliency again to fight back from being down one. We’ll go back and look at film and see exactly what went wrong, what needs to improve and try to build on the things we did well.”
On Wolfbauer taking the penalty kick…
“Pre-match, we always pick our top four penalty kick takers as a staff and between them they decide who’s going to take it depending on who’s most confident or who sees something that others don’t,” Nana said. “They make those decisions on the field. Madison felt it today and it was a good PK.”
Defender Madison Wolfbauer
On her penalty kick goal to equalize in the 74th-minute…
“Against Spokane at home in the Fall, I took two penalty kicks against them,” Wolfbauer said. “I took them both the opposite way so I knew she would dive that way if I was to step up. Just got up there to the spot and Carleigh did a great job of getting the PK. I was just there to finish it and glad I could do that for the team.”
On how Power FC’s equalizing goal propelled their fight through the rest of the match…
“Them missing the penalty kick gave us that momentum and us making the penalty kick,” Wolfbauer said. “We really do thrive off that as a group and I think if you look at the last couple of games we’ve really come together as a team. Phil talks about all the time as a family as well. We’re feeding off each other’s energy and momentum and you can feel it.”
