Coach Biggs' Comments
"I thought our game picked up as we moved into the last twenty minutes of the first half, and our energy was good throughout the second half. Both teams defended well and it was a game with few clear chances, as the score reflects. We're disappointed to be on this side of a tough scoreline and will work hard to rebound well in our next game."
Key Moment
Saager scored the game's winning goal from just inside the box and, with a Bryant defender guarding tightly, fired the shot past sophomore Meghan Dalton (West Hartford, Conn.).
