COACH'S CORNER

"Today was a gritty and tough game but we knew if we stuck to playing Army Lacrosse we would get our first win of league play. BU has an extremely talented draw taker in Jennifer Barry, as we knew it would be a grind to get the ball from her. Possession was key for us to be successful and we took care of business when we needed to. Proud of this group for pushing through the elements and going 1-0 to start Patriot League play." – Michelle Tumolo
