• Just under two minutes later, Asia Weaver accepted a pass from the left wing and scored from right in front of the cage for her third goal of the season.

COACH SHELLY BEHRENS QUOTES
• "It was a good road win and team win today. I thought both teams played well in snowy and rainy conditions. I'm proud of how this team has done down the stretch."
• "It's not like we played poorly in the first half, but I thought we could have been better with some things across the board, and I shared that with them at the half."
• "I liked how Autumn and our defense played and it's always good to have a clean sheet, but to me how we are performing matters more. I liked how our attackers picked up the defensive pressure in the second half and that made a difference."
• "I'm proud of this team this season. With a heap of adversity they kept digging in and getting better and they are doing it together. They are a fun group to coach and really take a lot of pride in representing Millersville and again I am incredibly proud of Team 73."
