Quotable
> "I was very impressed with the team's overall performance. Starting the day against No. 1 Princeton gave us the opportunity to really push ourselves. Grabbing 11 victories showed we can execute at a very high level. After a strong showing against Johns Hopkins, we knew we had to fight for every touch against UNC. There were a large amount of one-touch victories in key moments. Each squad secured high pressure wins that made the difference. We are improving and growing as a team and we will look to build off this momentum on Sunday." – head coach Jennie Salmon
