“I thought we came out and played very organized soccer today. We took it to them in the first 15 minutes and the game was out-of-reach by then. I thought individual performances were great all around the park tonight. We are really starting to find our team chemistry and it makes me proud to see my players working hard for each other,” said Mazza.
The Lady Lions will face the Lady Bisons of Harding at home Tuesday night at 4:00pm.
