Coach Stauffer's Comments:Â "I Thought we did a really good job of stretching them out early and finding three goals in the first couple minutes of the match certainly opened things up. I thought we got quality minutes out of everybody on the roster today, which I'm excited about. We will continue to prepare in each session and are looking forward to two more conference matches this week."Â
