The Pride scored the final five goals of the match for the final score.

The Eagles had an 11-10 edge in second-half shots and won six-of-ten draws after intermission. 

Coach Campbell Says:
"Stephanie Arnold did a very good job in her defensive assignment. We asked her to mark-out their top player and she only scored once. As a group though, we need to be better in our defensive technique and in our transition. We had times where we won the ball and they forced quick turnovers that led to chances."

"Our junior captains [Arnold and Dix] did a really good job keeping things positive while continuing to challenge our team. I thought we brought good energy out after halftime. In that first 13 minutes we transitioned well and got chances going to goal."

Up Next:
"The Eagles will host Immaculata on Wednesday at 4:00 pm.
