Coach's Corner
"We played really well, especially in the second half, because they gave us a lot of space to work with. I want to play pretty and good soccer and scoring goals while doing it. Our touches were cleaner and we moved the ball much better in the second half," said Head Coach
Dr. Mike Giuliano.
Turning Point
The Grizzlies spread the offensive effort across the lineup, with five different players scoring a goal. GGC started fast by scoring a pair of first-half goals as sophomore
Gabby Stone and freshman
Kendra Delgado found the back of the net. The team continued to apply pressure the rest of the way, ending the contest with a 23-1 shot advantage and getting nine corner kicks.
