Said Coach Mark Sullivan, “What didn't appear on the score sheet though was the tenacious play of Grace MacDonald, Hannah Ross and Rachel Robinson. They caused turnovers in the neutral zone that led directly to several goals.”
Grace Shapiro made several fine saves in goal. Haley Dennehy, Diana Logue, Jessica Mullany and Jessica Ross keyed a strong defensive effort.
