Head Coach April Cornell

"It was a hard-fought game today and the team left it all out on the field. We accomplished a lot of what we set out to do today without cornering and outshooting Holy Cross, but unfortunately, that still doesn't always win you the game. Amanda Allen stepped in the center back position today and did a phenomenal job. Ella Murphy took on a more defensive role and I think stepped up in big ways."
