Notables

Shawn Garus, head coach

"It was really good to get a sweep. It would be great if we could string a couple of those together to get some momentum. We're getting a little bit of rest at the same time as winning matches. So that was great to see the team be able to close it out in three."
"Layla (Smith) was amazing tonight. Her offensive line (statistics) was as good as you'll ever see with any middle around the country. So really proud of what she did. I thought she got her feet to the ball and that she had great body position to score in a variety of ways."
