QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH JULIE MYERS
“It was a day that went our way in so many categories. It was nice to see so many different players contribute on offense. Really, Charlie (Campbell) made a bunch of saves, defenders kept coming up with big play after big play and did just enough until we could really open it up. I am proud of the effort and proud of the contribution from so many people and I feel like we are moving in the right direction with a big game on Saturday.”
