Ehps Head coach Chris Mason through that her
team's defensive play, not just in the Ephs defensive zone,
made the difference in today's contest:
“We played well offensively and when you score 15 goals you
hope the game goes your way. But we played
sloppy defense in the midfield, and were not on them close enough
all over the field.”

April 24th at NESCAC rival Bowdoin, at 11:00
am.
