Coach's Take
Emily Glasser, Head Coach
"I'm proud of the team, we played well this week. I know they are disappointed to not defend but they gave it a run today and that was our goal. I was happy with the level of maturity I saw out there this week. It was much better than a year ago and I think that will be a big key to our success this year.
"There's always more to improve and I think we leave here encouraged to keep following our plan and working hard to be the team we want to become."
