Head Coach Heather Young
"I am incredibly proud of the effort and passion that we played with today. It was an overall team effort and to bounce back from our tough losses really shows this team's determination."
 
"Lehigh has a potent offense with lots of threats. Coach Rhodes put together a great game plan and our defense executed on all cylinders. Asil, Bowles and Nat were huge anchors that came up with great saves and phenomenal 1v1 defense."
 
"Our offense crushed it today. We tweaked a few things coming into the game and they were spectacular at following through with the plays. Zee and Haley were a big part of that but everyone was contributing. I'm also very happy to see Zee get her 100^th career goal today."
