Head Coach John Sung

"I'm excited with how our team played with going 2-0 on our spring trip to North Carolina. I like the play from all of our seniors today, they all played extremely well. I thought Letitia Siers did a great job defensively, stepping in and getting some key ground balls. Maddie Berni, Margaux Giacotto, Rachel Harris, and the rest of our midfield really stepped it up with goals today. We were really efficient with our shooting with 35 shots and 22 goals. I'm excited to come back to Kenosha and playing a couple more non-conference games before conference play starts. Overall, I'm happy with our performance today and looking forward to continuing to build. Looking for our sixth straight win this coming week!"
