FLASH QUOTES
"Today's win was a good overall team effort. We played an outstanding defensive game. I'm proud of the defensive unit for tying the school record for least goals allowed. Holding any team to two goals is very difficult thing to do. It shows how disciplined and focused our locked down defense can be. Another highlight was having 12 players involved in the scoring. Over half of the goals were assisted. That's amazing. The attackers were very unselfish with the ball today which made it a fun game to watch. The trip to DC allowed us to reenergize for the challenges ahead. We will be locked in over the next two days preparing for Stonehill." - head coach Tracy Coyne on the game

(14:43), Hernandez (6:42), McHenry (2:32) and Tori Petrie (Whitney Point, N.Y.) (0:15) also twinkled the twine in the second quarter.
