Coach Megan Smith's Thoughts:
 
"We told the team at the break we aren't playing Lee lacrosse and we have to figure it out. The girls came back strong in the second half and showed what we are capable of."
 
Hannah killed it today. Not only that but 100% on her shots which is something we have been working on since my assistant Kaylyn Castle has gotten here. Our defense was great today and they got the ground balls which we have been working on."
