The following girls scored their first career varsity goal: Michelle Olson, Colleen Maas, Lauren Goldman, Sam Acri, Erin Neuwirth, Dani Replogle, and JamieLee Pignotti.  

After Kathryn DeLauter made three saves in the first half she came out of goal in the second half to score her first goal ever on a hard shot to the top right corner. Jayme Batcher made her debut in goals making four saves and only allowing one goal.
