Coach's Corner
Head CoachÂ
Mat Dunn said, "STU is a really tough place to come and play. The girls worked hard today and I am proud of the fight and battle we put forth. To get a clean sheet was important as they took more shots than us, but not one was from inside the box. We will now prepare for Warner on Saturday."
