The team opened the tournament with a 2–1 win against host Jordan[20]
Quezada was also part of the Philippine national team roster for the 2018 AFF Women's Championship.[21] She did not feature in the Philippines opener match against Myanmar due to recovering from a minor injury sustained during training camp, where the team lost 0–4.[3] In the second match, Quezada came in as a substitute for Eva Madarang in the 60th minute[22] in the team's 3–0 win over Singapore where she scored her first international goal in the 77th minute.[23] In the third match against Vietnam, Quezada came in as a substitute in the 45th minute. In the fourth and final match of the tournament against Indonesia, Quezada would start the match and score the final goal of the match in stoppage time to help the team secure a result with a 3–3 draw after the team took a 2–0 lead into halftime but subsequently conceded 3 consecutive second-half goals.[22]
Quezada started all three group stage games for the Philippines at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, co-hosted in Australia and New Zealand.[24] The team did not advance into the knockout stages, but did record their first ever win in the World Cup at the tournament.[25]
