SOUND BITES
"Credit to BU for putting us on our heels from the start of the game. I feel like we never got comfortable and couldn't create our game tempo because of their pressure. But our girls were persistent and pushed through some missed traps and poor decision-making to get the win.
"The in-season game versus BU is always the same. A hard fought battle by both teams, and tonight was no different."
-Head coach Kelly Doton
