What They Are Saying

Head coach Shawn Burke: "It wasn't our best performance, especially in the first half, but i am really proud of how the girls responded and the grit they showed to get the result. Big minutes from Dana Lytle and the toughness of Andrea Niper and Brianna Shingary were the difference today. That strike and confidence is what impresses everyone about our freshman left back. It was another great group effort to get the three points today."
