Quotes
"This win was a real team effort. Each player did her job, and I think we're finally really coming together as a team.The real test will be if we take this momentum and continue moving forward. And – of course – I love that Meg was able to achieve this tremendous individual accomplishment on a day that was all about team, because Meg is all about team; I know she is happier for the squad's and her teammates' achievement(s) than she is for her own." - Salve Regina head coach Cori Hughes
