Quotable
- "Today was a great way to finish our season with a win," said head coach Laura Baker. "We had a slow first half that we never really settled in to, but in the second half we started to possess the ball and create more chances. In the attacking end we did a good job today of finishing our chances.
- "Our seniors deserved to go out on a win today and we are so happy that we could honor them in this way. They have worked tirelessly for the last four years through many changes and have given so much to help build this program. We will certainly miss them next season," said Baker.
