Athletic Conference play today.
Freshman Tessa Mariano-Brofferio led the
offensive attack, scoring a career-high four goals, followed by
hat-tricks from Tessa Bailey-Findley and

each shot she took.
Karie Nickle and Nanea
Fujiyama each scored twice on just two shots apiece as
well. Danielle Garcia added a pair of goals as
well. Bailey Findley finished with a team-high four assists.
Defensively, Nickle came away with six steals while
