"Our defense had beautiful double teams, transition was gorgeous in that first game as we sent two cutters so the ball could decide who to hit and our attack had a game plan. It's a huge shift from last week and we're excited about the future."
Sophomore Julia Schmuckler led the way for the Cardinals as she finished with three goals.Senior Jillian Balog, senior Madison Hoover and sophomore Katie Caddigan added two goals each.
Hoover and freshman Carolina Blalock recorded two assists, while sophomore goalkeeper Lexie Ball finished with 19 saves.
