Coach's Corner
"I am very pleased with how the girls played today.In the past we may have won that game 2-0, but winning 7-0 today shows that our offense is clicking and we are headed in a good direction. Our defense was unbeatable and very focused.They rarely let anything in our defensive end and were creating attacking oppertunities form the back every time they won the ball. A day where everyone gets to play is always exciting for the program. I am still looking forward to our games next week when all 11 starters are present and in full health. [This was] another day well spent preparing for our first conference match against conference champs Stevens Tech." -- Highlander Head Coach Hannah Ogden
