Head Coach April Cornell

"Anna played an exceptional game today, she was making save after save for us and really kept us in the game. Yale found a lot of success breaking through our midfield and had way too many attacking opportunities. I was happy to see that each quarter we improved and we were able to dominate in the last quarter with some strong shots on goal. It will be very important for us to adjust our press and focus on better communication for tomorrow's game against Columbia.
