“Meghan Tillger had a good game with six draw controls, four ground balls, two goals, two assists – one being the game-winning assist. Overall, we had a lot of girls contribute tonight, and it was a team effort with sparks from several different people. Ultimately, I am proud that the girls never gave up.”
