Freshman Brihonne Desroses (Brooklyn) led the Cougars offensively with three shots on goal out of her six total shots in the match. Freshman Brenda Cruz (Colombia) played goalkeeper for the first half of this game and had seven saves out of six goal attempts. In the second half, Cruz began to play offensively for the Cougars as she had two shots on goal out of her three total shots. Freshman Samantha Rodriquez (Puerto Rico) played goalkeeper for the first time this season while she was the goalie for the second half of today's matchup. She collected one save out of two goal attempts. Senior Charlyn Jordon (St. John's / Antigua) played very well defensively for the Cougars today as she collected many stops and steals for the team.
