Quotable
> "The LIU goalkeeper was phenomenal, and the team's defense was able to absorb a lot of our pressure so kudos to them. Maddie's goal was beautiful and that was a big change in the game. The second half was much better and we were playing to the game plan, but we were a little sloppy in the first half. We had a lot of adversity with the heat and time change, so it feels great to get the win. Now, we're excited for the business trip at James Madison for our first road game of the year." – head coach Michelle Vittese
