I am really happy with Marykate Galvin and Brittany Sullivan behind the net. They are strong players and feed the ball to cutters well. They are currently tied for the most assists on the team this season (15). Leah Murphy is doing well in the net as well, she had 23 saves in the Dedham game. Three of the freshmen are really impressing me as well. Kacie Smith, the second highest scorer, and Lisa Moynihan are solid players and Sammy Hayes really stepped up for us when center Kelsey Colbert was out with an injury.
