“This is a tough one to swallow as the score doesn’t really indicate the job we did on the field,” stated DSU head coach Nitan Soni.  “We worked very hard to make them feel uncomfortable and to have a goal with four seconds remaining is really tough.  For the better part of 90 minutes, we made it very difficult for them to score.”

Junior Theresa Wappett (Queensbury, N.Y.) and sophomore Kaitlyn Schech (Abingdon, Md.) each got off two shots on the night for DSU.
