Coach Terrett's Comments:
"We are obviously disappointed to lose to a highly talented team such as the RedHawks. They are a well drilled, well coached team and they exploited some of our weaknesses in the second half. We are very pleased to have put them under pressure in periods both the first and second half. However, we felt that we did not take full advantage of these opportunities unlike them who took their three goals very well. Overall, we feel a little blue about our performance but we look forward to our trip to Michigan. Congrats to Meghan Clark for her first collegiate goal."
