Quote From Head Coach Constantine Ananiadis
"W&L was clearly the better team today, but we also didn't play at the same level as we did on Wednesday (at Haverford). We're still young and learning as we go. Isabella (Sorhegui) is continuing to impress us and deserved to win today. She's had a phenomenal second half of the season!"
