"What a great team win. We had lots of different contributors today, through the midfield and forward positions to help keep the pressure on and work hard for the full 90 minutes. We battled, we worked hard, and we never gave up. We controlled the ball well from the backs all the way up the forwards.  Our combination play and switching of the field was a huge asset for us today. Amalia scored the first goal with an assist from Meg Dunn and Niah scored the second goal with an assist again from Meg Dunn. Our backline did a great job managing the pressure and attack from Elms, with a lineup of Emma, Hallie, Lex, and Nicole. We can't wait to get back after it at home on Saturday against Smith at 12PM!" - Nichols head coach Karen Gurnon
