"Josie Cavallo had an amazing day on the draws with 16 draw controls giving us plenty of opportunities on the offense. Super excited for first years Katie Walsh and Chase Dunn for scoring their first collegiate goals as well as Caroline Panzirer for her 100th career goal and 7-point day on offense. Proud of our goalie Maddie Stevens for career high 13 saves on 23 shots on goal. Love the way we shared the ball today."
