COACHES CORNER:
“Today was a great total team victory,” Head Coach Sophie Riskie ’07 said. “Nine different players scoring today, with six of those players recording their first career goal was amazing to see. We possessed the ball well and executed attacking penalty corners, which were two of our performance goals for the game.”
