Money, the team’s central midfielder was impressive in timing her late runs into the penalty area and finished two chances.
Other standouts for Region I included left back Devon Lis (Princeton, N.J.), who was really tenacious as a defender. She showed great athleticism and battled and scrapped against a talented team. Goalkeeper Holland Stam (Ipswich, Mass.) organized the back and controlled the tempo of the game and made a couple of big saves.
