COACH MICHELLE LENARD ON A TOUGH CONFERENCE BATTLE
"Playing St. Edward's is always a big game for us. The last five or six years, it's come down to the two of us at the top of the conference standings, so we knew coming in how important it was. For us to go down a goal early was frustrating, but I was really proud of how the girls handled it today. We stayed in it mentally. We had to really dig and grind to find a goal."
