COACH'S QUOTE
"It was great to get our attack going today, and see some good connection in the circle," head coach
Kate Pfeifer said. "Our corner execution has been improving over the course of the season, and today, we had some players adapting and making plays when things didn't go as planned, which was nice to see."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- UVM went on the offensive early as they outshot Colgate 4-1 in the opening quarter. Hall's goal was quickly followed up by Bailey Matthews' seventh of the season in the ninth minute. Sydney Melfi and Claudia Cotter had assists on the game-winning goal.
