Coach Biggs' Comment

"I thought our team showed a lot of grit in a hard-fought game today. Playing our second game in three days, our effort and focus were excellent. As the scoreline suggests, we defended very well, yet it won't show that we still managed to run forward to create some excellent opportunities with our passing and dribbling."

• The Bulldogs notched the only goal of the game in the 41st minute as Becca Michaud's (Westport, Mass.) cross into the box deflected off the keeper and into the net.
