Head Coach John Sung

"The team played great today, I was really excited with how we practiced and prepared this week and it showed today. The execution was at a pretty high level. Alessandra Almendarez set the tone early and made some great saves to get us going. Elizabeth Oda played really well with her six goals. Hanna Holloway and her played great offensively. Defensively, we played well to keep them under ten, they have scored 20 goals twice to start the season so it was really important to keep them under control. Excited for another week of practice to get ready for Saturday."
