Madison Mok and
Elyse Chan each posted complete game wins in decisive victories on the road vs. Renssalear Polytechnic Institute.
Coach's Take: "We had a lot of great individual performances on both sides of the ball today and yet this was a true team win. We have six games in three days here to end our break, which requires each player to be at the best day after day. It's exciting to get things started again and we can't wait to get on Cole Field on Sunday."Â
