"I'm really happy for the whole team and program to conclude the season this way. We challenged the group at half to respond to the one goal deficit, and they did. Really happy for some of our first years and the performances they put together, and of course the way our seniors closed their careers here is something for them to be proud of as well. There are a multitude of ways tonight could have gone, and it felt nice to watch our girls get to celebrate together one last time on Beyer-Small '76 field after a win."
