Quotable
"It was a hard fought win in slippery, wet field conditions. Sarah Segan had a great early goal, which set the tone for the game. Towson had some chances late in the game and our backs especially Hannah Keith, Lauren Kelly, and Page Frantz had stellar games. Katelyn Briguglio made some great saves down the stretch as well." – Head women's soccer coach Julie Shackford
