Wagner jumped out to a 3-0 lead and a 6-2 advantage after the first quarter and never looked back en route to a 16-7 win.
FLASH MOMENTS
"We knew Wagner would play a tough, fast paced game. Once we settled in and made some defensive adjustments we held our own in the second and third quarters. Clearly we have work to do to continue to grow our game."
- head coach Tracy Coyne on the game
"Elyssa played an excellent game today. She has really hit her stride. Multiple games with double digit saves speaks to what a talented goalie she is. Reaching this career milestone is a well-deserved record. She has worked hard to make it happen."
- Coyne on Enrique's milestone
McHenry got the Red Flash on the scoreboard with an 8-meter goal at 4:56 in the first quarter.
