Quote
"We definitely stepped up defensively and produced more offense than usual. The backs were stronger in the second half, which helped us keep the scoring down compared to the first half, when they had one post player who kept getting past our defense. It was a goal every time." –Nichols junior Brooke Marion (South Hadley, Mass.)
