Jordyn Bugg noted that scoring set piece goals was a focus for the Reign's training this week. "We've been working on it, and once we put our mind to something, we can do it. And I think that proves how close we are as a team":

"Today's performance shows growth in us. We've had plenty of big games over the last couple years where perhaps it's got a bit too much for us at times ... but today, you don't get much bigger than having to win to get in ... we were calm, we were in control." -Jess Fishlock

Laura Harvey talked about what the Reign have to do to beat Gotham in the first round of the playoffs next Sunday. "The games we've been disappointed with are when we haven't turned up, so our biggest task next week is turn up":

Albert Rusnak talked about the difficulties vs. Houston's low block + Sounders chance creation "We created a couple of chances that maybe three months ago, four months ago, would go in. But it's still not an excuse, we're just gonna have to score a goal":

"I wish I had a good answer for that, because if I did and we could implement it, we would still be climbing instead of the Montreal disaster at home and this disaster at home. The injuries were a big storyline, but that's just an excuse." -Brian Schmetzer on the ups and downs

Brian Schmetzer talked about his team's need to run in behind against Houston's low block in order to open up other spaces, something the Sounders didn't do today.

Brian Schmetzer talked at length when asked about his overall assessment & emotions following the Sounders' 1-0 loss today. Topics included run-up to Houston's goal, the team quality, and the outlook going forward. "That's the way, sometimes, this sport is. It's very cruel":
