FLASH QUOTES
"Bryant is by far the best team we have played this season. Their speed of play was exceptional. I was proud of how hard we fought and worked to stay in it for 60 minutes."
- head coach Tracy Coyne
FLASH MOMENTS
McHenry got the Red Flash on the scoreboard unassisted at 12:01 in the first quarter and also found the twine at 4:54 in the second quarter off a pass from Hernandez.
Roncarati scored at 7:19 in the opening quarter and Hernandez twinkled the twine with 4:59 on the clock in the second 15 minutes of the match.
Heidt scored twice in the final five minutes and 11 seconds. The graduate student scored unassisted at 5:11 and then hit the back of the net right before time expired after
Kelly Dickson (Blue Bell, Pa.) caused a turnover and connected ahead to Heidt.
FLASH NUGGETS
Heidt now has 86 tallies and 13 assists for 99 points in her career. The graduate student, who has eight multi-goal performances this season and 21 for time in Loretto, needs five tallies to move into seventh place on the program's career goal list.
Enrique joined the Top-4 with 334 career saves. The senior, who had a career-high 18 saves twice in her career including last season against Bryant, turned away 15 shots for the sixth time in her career and the fourth time in 2022.
McHenry has 10 games with at least two goals this season. She has also had at least five draw controls six times on the year. McHenry moved into third place on the program's single-season draw control list with 64 draws. She will probably stay in that position with former teammate
Emileigh Scott holding the Top-2 spots with 96 (2019) and 133 (2018). With her two markers, McHenry has 33 goals and 15 assists for 48 points to crack the Top-10 on the single-season chart. The 15 assists are two away from the 10th spot.
With her goal and an assist, Hernandez now has 11 goals and seven assists for 18 points in 2022. Roncarati, the current NEC Rookie of the Week, has 18 tallies and one assist for 19 points.
Chyler Espino (San Francisco, Calif.) paced the defense with four ground balls, four caused turnovers and two draw controls. The four caused turnovers is a career-high while the ground balls total was one off of her standard.
