COACH'S QUOTE
"It was a competitive match today, and a fun game to watch," head coach Kate Pfeifer said. "I'm proud of the focus and consistency our players showed through all four quarters. I thought we played simple, smart hockey, and responded well when things didn't go our way. We had a goal called back in the fourth, and on the next play, won it off the press, earned a corner off the counter attack, then another corner to score. We made good progress today."

• Junior Sydney Melfi recorded the game's first shot in the 19th minute. She also received a green card in the 29th minute in a defensive first half for both teams.
