Head Coach Ricky Fried

• The Blue & Gray began the second half with a 3-0 run as a trio of freshman scored including Hazen, Katie Goldsmith and Maria Hudson with the first of her career.
• Following an MU timeout, the Hoyas kept pushing as senior Mary Pagano intercepted a pass and went up the field to Walsh who found junior Ali Diamond next to the cage for the goal.
• Marquette put two together, but it was graduate student Liza Liotta who sparked an impressive 5-0 run as the Hoyas scored at will late in the game.
