Řepková scored the jubilee 1,200th goal of the Czech national team in history. “I didn't know that at all, but it sounds pretty nice. Scoring for the national team is always great and it doesn't matter what match it is. I'm very happy to have conquered this milestone,” she told the Czech floorball website.

“We lost, which of course we didn't want. We played our game until the half of the match and then we allowed ourselves to score two unnecessary quick goals, to which we were no longer able to react. We are sorry, but we probably now know where we made mistakes and it won't happen to us next time,” added Řepková.
