POST-GAME QUOTES
Head Coach Kateri Linville
“This team is setting the tempo with the first draw and first goal. Our offensive output was the result of a great team effort. Winning the draw helped us to build a lead against a well-coached team. La Salle hustled for 60 minutes and their coaching staff and team threw several different tactics at us tonight. I thought our team did a good job of making a few in-game adjustments that allowed us to generate goals from 11 different attackers.”
