"And I think these guys really buckled down and pulled together and created that identity for themselves. These guys talked about it, too, but being very balanced on the offensive end was something that's huge for us, and it doesn't all fall on one person, that any of our -- I think we had nine or 10 attackers in there. Look at Taylor Hensh came in for us today and had four goals, you know, is really able to perform in any situation.

The same thing defensively, that we just want to remain disciplined and sharp and smart. And so these guys all bought in from the start of our season in September and have really just worked their way to get to where they are today."

On Kali Hartshorn taking the draw:
"Yeah, I think the thing that she won't say, it's experience. She started out as a freshman and we put her in the first game of the season and said you're taking the draw for us. We've had Taylor Cummings on it for four years. So here she comes as a freshman, we throw her into the center of the circle and we say, Go. And she has continued to get better throughout this season. She critiques herself. She looks at what she needs to do to be the best that she can be for us.

"And you know, she came off of Penn State, Madison Carter is tough in there. She's very good and she got a ton of draws herself, too. Kali for us today balanced that out. She was huge. We went up 8-0, had like the first seven or eight draw controls and they were a big part -- a big credit to Kali for that. So she made adjustments coming off the last game."

On the team's offensive production:
"I loved the ball movement that we had today. I loved how much we were opening and creating opportunities for each other. We had -- I felt like we had a lot of assists. I don't know what the stats say. But we moved the ball really well. We created a lot of opportunities for each other, then we finished on them.

"So it was a great energy. I think for us we just need to keep it going, keep our foot on the gas, keep that energy going. I loved, also -- and this is being a little sappy, but how much fun we were having on the field. The girls had these giant smiles on their face. They're loving every moment that they have together, and I think that's important to our success, as well."

On the production from underclassmen:
"I think that our team overall, it's awesome to see the confidence out of our younger players and maybe people who haven't been on this stage before, but I think that the poise, and like you said, kind of just the way that our juniors and seniors and sophomores -- I mean, I think our sophomores play like seniors. You would never know that Jen is a sophomore the way she carries herself on the field, and I think that rubs off. And kind of that confidence and poise in the locker room and in practice yesterday and just in the first few minutes of that game kind of rubs off. And then after five minutes everyone has been on the field, and it's a level playing field. I think that everyone on our team does a great job of playing with confidence and just having faith in each other, and just like Kali said, I think that's the most important part."
