At halftime the Lady Hawks held a commanding 14-1 lead.

“I’m so proud of my team and all of our hard work,” said senior captain Lucia Coccagno. “We got our first section win out of the way and I can’t wait to see everything we are going to accomplish.”

Giving the team their 20 goals was Caitlyn Schultz with six, Lucia Coccagno with five, Riley Miller with four, Tori Krapp with two, Ella Stewart with two, and Meghan Krapp with one.

“We have really been focusing on taking better care of the ball and causing more turnovers and I was really happy to see us execute in both of those areas tonight,” said head coach Becky Luzier. “We have an explosive offense and when they get in their flow and stick to the game plan, they’re nearly impossible to stop.”
