  • Following the match, SAU honored its seniors Corrie Good, Rachel DeLancey, Alyssa Joseph, Tricia Slusser, Tamryn Sanderson-Smith, Hope Myers and Tara Kauffman.

  • Natalie Thorne finished with eight saves in goal for the Maple Leafs.

 
 

QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH JASON CRIST

  • "We were not at our sharpest tonight, but our depth really showed through and allowed us to achieve a good result."
  • "Abbey Fuller and Jacquelyn Martin were both especially good today and it was great to have our offensive production spread amongst several players."
  • "It was very encouraging to see the seniors step up and play so well on Senior Day as well. Corrie Good and Alyssa Joseph both played well, each finding the net, and Rachel DeLancey was very solid in our backline."
  • "We are looking forward to using this week to prepare for a tough IWU team next Saturday"
