• Said Head Coach Carter Shaw: "I thought our defensive energy was really good at the beginning of the game and that carried over to the offensive end of the floor.  It was really nice to see so many players step up to make shots and help build the lead.  Meghan Foley is an offensive machine, Olivia Gagnon played a flawless first half and Krissa Hill really gave a glimpse of her scoring ability. I was happy with how many people contributed in different areas tonight."
