Quote
"Today we turned the corner. The team came off the field after the first half losing the battle in the air. We got back to our style of soccer in the second half and got the well-earned result. A tremendous and timely win against a strong Wentworth team. I'm very happy for captain Gregory Giglio and rookie Lucas Vaadi for combining on a brilliant game winning goal." -Nichols head coach Chris Traina
