Quotable
> "I thought this was a really great game for us today. It's been a good week of practice and I think coming off last week's losses this was a big test on how we could perform and handle playing a game confidence wise. UC Davis has been playing really good lacrosse, so we knew this would be a challenge for us. I'm really proud of us staying in the game after a slow start and finding a way for us to build a lead."– Head Coach Bonnie Rosen
