"Tonight, we hosted a team that is ranked 22nd in the nation," Head Coach
Sam Clark. "To come away scoring a goal against a team like that is something we can be proud of. Last year, we defended 11 inside the box and never attacked. This year, we created opportunities which shows tremendous growth. They did score a couple quality goals, and a few goals they scored were our lapse in concentration and discipline."

Life U was outshot 30-5, with 23 shots on goal compared to five. Freshman
Pien van Kampen suffered the loss in the goal, allowing seven goals but with a career-high 16 saves.
