TOP QUOTE
"It was a good overall team effort. What stood out to me about the match was Aniah (Philo)'s defense. Her touches were so clean. Every time she dug a ball, we got a kill off of it. Whether she ran down to the corner or sprinted on it. I told the girls (in the huddle) what was not going to show up on the stats was how good Aniah's defense and passing was tonight." -head coach Ryan McGuyre
