"Stony Brook is a tough team who has a lot of attacking fire power. They made things difficult for us, but I felt when we slowed the tempo down and kept possession for stretches, we found a good rhythm," said
Sarah Martinez, Loring Family Head Coach. "Proud of our group for another shutout, another set piece goal, and their pride to defend Reese so well."
