1.Zinsberger; 2.Fox, 6.Williamson, 3.Wubben-Moy, 15.McCabe; 21.Pelova, 10.Little(c); 9.Mead, 12.Maanum, 24.Lacasse; 25.Blackstenius

Why not Russo and Stina together? Well, hoping for the best. And no Lia in midfield is a huge loss!
Glad Lacasse is in. Russo been ill apparently. Would like see Pelova in Manuums position with Cooney Cross in midfield, hope Manuum proves me wrong. COYG!!
Frida was immense today. Literally, ran herself into the ground for the team today. Praying that she is ok🙏
