Player Spotlight: 
"I'm so proud of this team and what we accomplished today," said Walsh. "This team has come so far since last year and we are ready to take on the rest of the season with 100% effort. We have some tough games coming up but I am so excited to see what this team can achieve together."
 
Coaches Corner: 
"I thought we finally put together a solid 90 minutes of soccer today," said head coach Anthony Cosky. "It was nice to see the ball go in the back of the net six times. I think it's great for our confidence going into a tough conference game Saturday. The energy and effort was great today. Overall, we moved the ball really well and we were dangerous in the attack. We'll enjoy this briefly, but need a couple good days of training to be ready for our next match. Albertus Magnus will give us a battle and we are looking forward to the opportunity. It'll be our first home conference game so we will be ready!"
