COACH'S QUOTE
"A special day for Ava breaking the record for all-time points," head coach Sarah Dalton Graddock said. "Sydney Mas was an outstanding player who set a high bar during her time at UVM. Incredible for Ava to accomplish what she did. I was a really good overall team win. We were a little slow to get going, but I think once we kind of settled in, we had some really nice stops on defense. I thought we did a really nice job on the draw, and then just finishing strong on offense. So just overall really proud of our group today."
