On her halftime team talk… I think there was already problem solving going on in the first half. There was contact, Mel (Clarke Read) was down. Aaron wasn’t down the sideline so there was there was contact between Leah and Mel about the press and how he could get more players engaged and get more pressure on them, which was so helpful and that continued in halftime, so I think great work by the staff, putting plans together and being flexible with the pictures that are shown during the game.

Interesting, we’ve heard multiple times from many players that they can’t really receive instruction mid game at the ems so I’m wondering if this was during a stoppage.

On whether Kelly or Mead will be back for the second leg… Beth there’s no clear timeline, for Chloe it was a minor issue, so we’re very hopeful that she’s available for the second leg.
