–Props: “Keira Hess had a HUGE game today with five goals, three assists, and she was just a force all over the field. She really was a leader today on the field. Leah King stepped in to take some draws for us today and ended up with five draw controls, normally a defender she came up huge in an area we have been struggling. The team was very excited for another freshman, Julianna Perez, to get her first high school career goal. Our attack is getting stronger every day and is learning to work together. We had some huge hustle today from Madeline Cox, Eva Gorrell, and Mia Hood.”
