Weinstein was able to net a pair of goals, securing a 4-3 lead for

Weinstein, her fourth of the game. Ferriter scored her first goal
of the game with 9:19 remaining on the clock. Seifritz would
net two more before the game ended, bringing the final score to
13-6.
O'Brien made five saves and Williams goalie Julia
Schreiber made eight.
Head coach Chris Mason was “very happy” with
how her team played: “Today we put it all together, we played
well. We moved the ball well, played dynamically, put up a tough
defense, and really improved on our draw control. Our offense
really got going today and took good opportunities. I'm very
happy with the defense, Schreiber especially had a great game.
[Because of our lead] all of our field players were able to get in
today, and they did a good job as well.”
