"It felt good to come out in the first 10 minutes of the second half and score," said sophomore Dannah Brehm about the win. "I think that it picked up everyone's momentum a little bit more, which made everyone play a little bit harder. I feel like we're playing really good. I think this is the year to do something. We're playing a lot better together and starting to learn each other on the field."
Brehm scored the game's first goal in the second half. Fellow sophomore Charise Young took at shot at cage, but it was deflected off the Lafayette goalkeeper's pads. Brehm recovered the ball and placed it into the cage, giving the Owls the advantage.
