“With nationals being here this fall we’re really excited to get going. But I think what we’re going to do through the next month is prepare as best we can to kind of mould this group,” Gaels goalkeeper, Kirstin Tynan, said.
“We’d still really like to qualify for it on our own,” head coach, Dave McDowell added. “So being in the Ontario final at the end of October is something that we’re still aiming for.”
