Quotable
> "We got off to a good start against Northwestern, which is always a tough match for us. We had a little bit of a slump against Ohio State and Yale, but after the break the girls pulled themselves together. We had a great match against Penn, and against Norte Dame the team was focused, ready, and never gave up. It was an exciting win that they worked hard for and I'm proud of them." – head coach Dr. Nikki Franke
