"Our execution was excellent today," Coach Kane said. "From the insertion to the final touch, we were able to put practically every shot on goal that came from a corner. It's something that we constantly work on during our training."

"They weren't getting the ball into their offensive third so that cut down on the corner opportunities," Coach Kane said. "Madison Milhous did an excellent job in stopping the ball before it reached the circle for most of the game."

77 diehard fans at University Field on a wet and rainy afternoon.
