Coach Bigg's Comments

"I think it was a very solid performance on both ends of the field today. I think we defended well and attacked well. We created a lot of opportunities and we were unfortunate not to score at least one … I think it's a really good learning experience for our team, knowing that we can compete and keep our composure in a physical game and more than hold our own."

Key Moment

• In the 107^th minute, defender Alyssa Riccione (Mohnton, Pa.) played a ball into the box to forward Amanda Spitaleri (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.), who had to play it backwards. A cross then found the head of Haley Reddish (Natick, Mass.), who sent it back in Spitaleri's direction, but she was not able to hit it clean and Binghamton's keeper was able to corral it.

Scoring Summary 

• No goals
