“We rely heavily on the leadership component of this team. With two sidelined with injury, I’m happy to see people be able to step in, but we are eager to keep preparing for when we are at full health!

Juliana Zumas had her first varsity goal which is always exciting, and Danielle Walz put two in for us from the left post which is exactly what we look for!”, said head coach Jill Dorn.
