"The things we have been working on are coming together, "said Coach Johann Marin. "Our team played as a good unit. It was a unified effort, and I'm happy to be one step closer to our goal, which is to be ready for the conference games. Clare Grchan and Megan Scanlon had an amazing day. Our goalkeeper Sarah Thoms was outstanding, making a number of key plays throughout the game."
