Coach's comments on the team win...
"Today was a good show of what we've been working on all week. We really made a turnaround in the second half on the draw which gave us extra offensive opportunites and our defense was steady throughout the game. We always try to highligh out strengths and today we were really able to play to our ability to have multi-shot possessions."

Coach's comments on individual players...
"On the offensive end, Peyton Woodward was the glue today. On the defensive side, Jessica Colalillo and Phoebe Fox were our anchors down low while Jessica Wilhelm continued to make big plays in the midfield for us."
