Head Coach John Sung

"I'm excited for the first win of the season. We were able to play a lot of players tonight. Margaux Giacotto with her eight points really helped us and Rachel Harris had another great game. Our midfield played really strong today. I was happy to see Natalie Scalamera score her first collegiate goal. I am very pleased we were able to improve from last week, we corrected the things that we saw from the last game. Now we can turn our focus on to St. Mary's with another week of great practice."
