THOUGHTS FROM ABBY WILEY
 
"I was really glad to see how much our attackers used each other. Fourteen of our 17 goals were assisted today and that's really tremendous for us. Three of our players had three assists and we had seven goal scorers, it shows that we are sharing the ball really well on the offensive side. On the defensive side we did a really nice job of shutting their best player down."
