THOUGHTS FROM COACH DALEY
"I thought our team played with a lot of heart today," head coach Allison Daley said. "I am extremely happy with their effort and performance. It took all 23 of us to put that type of performance on the field today. We had a great week of practice and it showed in our play. I am proud of our team. We will use this as another learning experience to get better as we move forward."
