COACH'S QUOTE
Head Coach Alison Foley -
"Although we went up 2-0, I didn't think we were playing sharp as we should have been,'' said Foley after BC's third win of the season. "Second half we were much more focused and managed the game better. We were fortunate that a lot of players got quality minutes today and that will aid in us being fresh for Sunday's match against Northeastern."
