THE RUNDOWN

  • Money, a sophomore out of nearby Tipton, Indiana, finished the night with three total shots. Monsour was the lone other Cougar with double-digit shots (2).
  • Senior goalie Kailee Moore stopped each of McPherson's two shots on frame, earning her first shut-out of the young season.

INSIDE THE HUDDLE
  • "As a whole we played well. There were moments we needed to be more dangerous going to goal but we created chances from our movement. Our shape defensively looked good as a whole and we were able to eliminate their chances." - Head Coach Sohaila Akhavein
