"Excited to build on our results from our first game two weeks ago," CWU Head Women's Soccer Coach Michael Farrand said. "Saint Martin's has been playing a lot of games and just had a tough one goal loss against Western Washington. Heather Cato has really worked hard and made a lot of progress through the spring games. On our part, we will be mixing up the roster and will continue to use the spring to both evaluate our players and work on building for the fall.
We had a pretty wide open game the last time with SMU and I would expect that this game would be similar. Very important for us to maintain possession a little longer, take advantage of our chances on goal and more importantly be very solid on defense. Excited for the best day of the week - GAME DAY!"
