FROM THE FIELD
"Playing quality opponents like Messiah is part of our season strategy to prepare us for a very competitive NJAC schedule. Although we battled well, we need to remember that we can't win games if we don't score. We created good scoring opportunities on APCs, but we need to find ways to get the ball in the cage - especially on rebounds. Today we saw outstanding leadership and effort from senior captain, CARLY AMERMAN. Carly is always a vocal leader and took risks throughout the game that prevented Messiah from establishing control in the midfield.  We will learn from today and use this effort to focus on our first NJAC game on Tuesday." Head Coach Eileen O'Reilly.
