“We feel really good about today’s game,” Austin head coach Jake Levisen said. “We definitely out-passed and out-worked them today. The ball just didn’t bounce our way. The goal that they had could’ve easily been prevented and that’s one of those weaknesses we’ve talked about this season. We’ve got to attack every 50-50 ball.”
Robin Weaver stopped four of the five shots she saw in net for Austin and Cassity Nangle stopped all eight of the shots she saw.
