Post-Game Comments

Head Coach Celeste Shefferly - "We struggled with draw controls and ground balls, which are two very important areas of our game.  We are going to focus on those areas and maintaing possession of the ball for our game against Shorter. We struggled a lot in the second half offensively, we only scored once.  However, our goalie Amanda Prins had a good game coming up with key saves."
