yeah definitely I mean there's a play where I thought I got fouled in the box and I didn't think my goal was a handball but I mean obviously like we had other chances that we should have finished so I can't blame it all on that but I definitely think we should have won that game we just couldn't put away her chances but yeah she obviously came up big with a few big saves one at one she's obviously a presence in the goal and I think we as a team like maybe let that get in our heads a little bit one we got our chances but yeah she played the game and we knew it was obviously going to be a huge challenge but we weren't going into it for the time of course like we were still going for the win because we knew a win would really help us get in the best position possible to win league and the whole game like we kind of started off a little frazzled I think and we are panicking and we were kicking the ball and we were like we weren't controlling the game then as the first half went on we built our confidence we relaxed and we realized like we can still compete without Tara and Marissa like they're obviously a huge part of our team and we love them but without them it doesn't mean that we're sunken almost like we did not go into this game thinking like this is going to be like a defeat like we went in knowing we had to fight and I think that we really fought yeah especially with that like we should have taken advantage like I think we had way more chances than them and that being said like we weren't playing for the tie so the tie just feels more like a loss but we also still control our destiny so as long as we keep one angler fine..
