COACH RITTER SAID: "Our team has been getting more and more competitive in games compared to previous years. This game was big for us to take that next step as a program and I couldn't be more proud of the team. We won a large amount of 50/50 balls, and the ladies were the most composed in front of goal that we've been all year. Four different goal scorers today with all of them getting their first collegiate goal. The amazing thing was that all four goals were precise placements around the goalkeeper to show the quality that they can have. We're hoping to carry this performance into future games."
