\n“Today really exemplified what the team is capable of, and the coaching staff was so happy with the execution on the day from the team,” said Kathleen Flores’ Head Coach Rosalind Chou. “They showed huge improvement with their defense and finally started to click on attack. It was a really great day all around for the Bears.
\n\u00a0
\n“Some standouts on the day were sophomore Priscilla Maalouf<\/a>, who took charge of the lineups and was a real threat on the edges on attack, and the senior center pair gave us so much go forward with Laryssa Barbosa<\/a> and Olivia Baptiste<\/a>. Our freshmen were able to get several breaks or assists on the edges \u2014 Naomi VanZandt, Lauren Huang<\/a>, Charlotte Davies<\/a>, and Abby Cirillo<\/a>.
\n\u00a0
\n“It was a full team effort with some great tactical decisions and kicking from Julia Murray<\/a> and Lily McGettigan<\/a>.”
