Head Coach Dave Nolan
"I thought this was another good performance by the girls on the road against a dangerous team," said Nolan. "In the first half we kept them quiet and managed a great goal by
Claire Manning, we possibly could have had another. However, in the second half, both teams really went for it and while we could have had a few more, I have to give our defenders credit, they were excellent and
Allie Augur turned in a great performance in goal. We now head to Chicago to play a rested DePaul on Sunday in another tough road battle."
