Coach's Comments
"The girls were extremely fired up for today's first-ever conference game for the program and wanted to make a statement in the NE10," said Head Coach Trish Bonagura. "There was a lot of trust on the field today that led to connections between the defense and midfield and the midfield and the offense, resulting in scoring opportunities and corners. Everyone did their job today and worked hard for the full 60 minutes, which was one of our goals coming into the game."
