Olivia McDaniel was once again the hero for the Philippines, as her save of Vietnam's Trần Thị Thu penalty sealed the gold medal for the Filipinas in the 2025 Southeast Asian Games. After the match, the goal-keeper expressed her pride in their team's mentality, noting that they fought through two matches that went to extra time and two penalty shootouts en route to the gold medal. McDaniel also paid tribute to fellow goal-keeper Inna Palacios, who retired from the national team after the match.
