"I think this is one of those times where we underestimated our opponent," Corban Head Coach Kylie McMinn began with stating later this evening. "We had weird energy in the first quarter but picked it up in the second."

McMinn continued by sharing, "When we looked good, we looked really good, but we just did not communicate well for the majority of the game. We know what we need to do to fix it, and we'll be ready when we play them at home next week."

Lions' goalkeeper Kyndra Knuth posted an almost identical stat line to Nuse, as she saw 11 goals fly by her and added 11 saves of her own.

Junior attacker Sydney Davis led the offensive charge for the Navy and Gold, scoring four goals and adding an assist along the way. Meanwhile, freshman attacker Naomi Rauch recorded her first collegiate hat trick, while also dealing out an assist to Davis.
