"Certainly the girls lost the ball in the middle so cheaply. Thanks, they didn't concede and they must work on that going to 3rd match and semis, also final.”

"We didn't knock the ball the way we want, we lost so many balls in the middle which makes as difficult to penetrate.. that's only our strength especially against the physical team of Nigerians.”
