"We went into halftime a little flat after a UVM run and it wasn't a massive adjustment but rather a recommitment to our game plan and fundamentals," said Head Coach Laura Field. "We needed to adjust to handle heavy defensive pressure and I'm really proud of the leadership of Olivia Doody in calming tempo and in our veteran defense and Casey Collins for holding down their offense in key moments."

A record setting performance on the defensive end saw Rylee Harrell collect 11 draw controls which ties the program's single game record, and matched the total by the entire Catamount team as the Stags outdrew Vermont 15-11.

"Rylee had a great game for us in a few different ways than her normal performances. She was outstanding defensively with take a ways and pushing transition and her stats on the draw speak for themselves," said Head Coach Laura Field. "E managed to not only grab her 100th point but also to set the tempo for the fast start and the second half surge. She's a crafty player and I'm really proud to have watched her join her teammates in the 100-point club."

"The energy shift into the second half was in large part powered by a really vocal bench and it was a huge positive for us," said Coach Field. "UVM was a really physical team with a super potent offense, and they are very well coached. We had our hands full handing that level of pressure, but it will only serve us well headed into arguably one of our toughest games in Drexel."
