Head Coach Jason Palkovic also spoke highly of the performance of midfielders #15 Hannah Taylor, #10 Grace Johnson, #11 Danielle Charland, #7 Jenna Rogers, #6 Alexys Bolton, and #2 Alexis Ramos.

“The midfielders did well controlling the tempo of the game,” says Palkovic. “Defensively the backs, did well limiting the chances for Onondaga. It was a complete team effort today.”
