CONFER'S CORNER
"It was a collective team effort today. We had to go deep into our bench and were able to get the win. We created some excellent chances in the attack today and the girls fought extremely hard. Rhiannon came up with a couple great saves at the end of the first half to keep the game tied. We are proud of the fight the girls showed and responded well after Friday's result." -- Head Coach Robin Confer
