COACH'S QUOTE
Head coach Alison Foley
"We had a lot to overcome this year - our all-time leading scorers graduate, our best freshman transfers to Stanford and two big-time starters, Jade and Gaby, blow out their knees. We have progressed so much to be to much better now than we were last year at this time. These kids deserve a post-season! We earned that second goal and it wasn't offside. UVA would have never come back from a 2-0 deficit."
