Coach's Corner
"I am proud of the women's effort today," commented head coach Daniel Finn. "They came out very focused from the start and did a good job of correcting the mistakes they made yesterday. Just like yesterday, anytime you start a match down 2-0, it can be hard to stay focused. The women did a great job and powered through to get the 7-2 victory today."
