Quotable: Head Coach Jonathan Meade
"I'm super impressed with the intensity level from the top of the roster to the bottom of our roster. It was really amazing how the next person came in and there was never a letdown.
Quotable: Junior #2 Katie Ulmer
"We wanted to come out with intensity and that's what we did. We were focusing on scoring in the first 15 minutes, and every game and our team is working really hard and I was able to get the shot off.
Having a goal early definitely helps because it still feels like it's 0-0 going into the rest of the game. That allowed us to have energy throughout the game but also allowed us to have that edge on them for the rest of the game."
