"As a staff, we were proud of our group's ability to be adaptable today," said Head Coach Shannon Soares. "We asked them to set the tone early and they answered that challenge well, scoring two goals in the first five minutes of the match. Today was a total team effort. We are excited to get back to work on Tuesday in preparation for a very talented Liberty squad who we face Friday at home."
