Coach Gino Alia: “The girls did a great job at every level defending and then building to create scoring opportunities. We had several chances early, kept working and eventually found the net. Dominican is a young team with good speed and a dynamic midfielder [Dominican sophomore Claire E]. We had a game plan, and the girls executed it to a tee.”
