“I think a lot of people thought women's soccer had arrived and it was here to stay and it was going to be huge, but that wasn't realistic. It has progressed slowly.”

“I think the thing that has sort of always separated me, even from when I was younger, is my ability to score goals.”

“I have a Pomeranian dog named Nutmeg - a combination of the soccer move and the colour. It's perfect.”

“When I was growing up, you didn't know there was a women's national team. Now girls grow up dreaming of playing for Canada.”
