Coach Spallina's Take
"We accomplished our first goal, which was to secure home-field in the America East tournament. That being said, we need to find ways to be a more consistent team. I liked the fact that 14 of our 19 goals were assisted. I think we're capable of a lot more from top to bottom, starting at the defensive end. I'm looking forward to getting back to work Monday for next week.

"I'm really proud of Emma ... She has trusted the process and has started to reap the benefits.  She's been practicing so well and the consistency is there."
