QUOTABLE
Head coach Taylor Dodson
“I’m really proud of the team for starting off the season so strong. I thought that the win was a complete team win from top to bottom. Some of the standout performances to me were Mary Askew in the cage with 13 saves and an assist. She really held our defense down and allowed us to have a shutout in the second half, which is huge. I also think Kallie White did a good job helping our defense and putting away her opportunities. The best thing about this win was that it was a complete team win and we had a lot of goals from a lot of different players. A lot of our freshmen got in played big minutes. We looked a little rusty but that’s to be expected so I’m excited to get in to the rest of the weekend to see how far we can push and how much better we can get every game.”
