Coach’s quote: “The girls played more aggressively tonight, with better anticipation for the ball. Derryfield played very well with good passing and possession of the ball and had a few great shots at goal, but Atkins had three or four amazing diving saves in the last 20 minutes of the game.” – H-D’s Susan Else
