WARRIOR OF THE GAME

Kelsey Dreyer-Her four goals were not enough for the win, but they did get her closer to a milestone.  With two more goals, the junior will have 100 for her career.

“She’s a great player and today she was on.  She was able to split their defense and get through a couple of double teams.  Her shot was on too and when all that’s clicking she’s very tough to stop.”-Head Coach Lisa Atkins

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCES

Brittany Santos and Rachel Dobin-one goal each

COACH’S TAKE

“This was probably the tightest we’ve ever played Bridgewater and I’m really proud of my kids.  They came out and played hard for the entire game.”-Atkins

THEY SAID IT

“Although we lost, when you play a team like Bridgewater and play them well, it gives you confidence.  It shows them that they can run with anybody and they should be very proud of the way they played today.”-Atkins
