"Definitely our best overall effort of the year," remarked Head Coach Rachael Caywood, "We came out slow in the opener, but once we got a little momentum, we really stated to click.  The crowd was great tonight, they made it an awesome environment ... I would like to thank the men's soccer team and women's basketball team for their support."

The loss drops Northampton to 0-5 overall and 0-2 in Region 19.
