Coach Megan Smith's Thoughts:
 
"We moved the ball really well again today. That is a point of emphasis that we have worked on the last bit. We did a good job of playing our game and not going up or down with the opponent."
 
"We had 12 different goal scorers today and that is incredible. Callie and Maggie are leading the team very well both on and off the field."
 
"We need to keep focusing on us as we get ready to go down to Florida."
