COACH'S QUOTE

Head Coach Alison Foley -
"I thought our back line was great and didn't give up any chances. Northeastern has some dangerous forwards and we managed them well,'' said Foley, whose team has won the last three games. "I thought we had a really solid game and certainly the result doesn't indicate our dominance. But we will take the victory and move on to the next game."
