CB East hasn’t beaten CR North since 2021, so this game felt like a big one for us. We came in with a clear plan, and our defenders executed it incredibly well, limiting North’s scoring opportunities all game. Our midfielders battled hard on every draw, and along with our attackers, did a great job maintaining possession and playing with purpose.

Once again, goalie Lora Collins had a strong performance in the cage, finishing with 9 impressive saves. CRN defended our clears by tightly locking off our players. Lora stayed composed and patient, waiting for one of her teammates to make the right move and get open. When they did, she was able to deliver accurate clears to get the ball into our attacking end.

By the numbers:
Paige Dougherty (3G, 2A, 2 CTO, 4 DC), Cece Hayes (3G, 2A, 1 CTO, 4 DC), Natalie Berndt (2G, 2 DC), Brooke Breen (2G), McKenna Lynch (1G) Lora Collins (9 saves)
