Feeney went the distance soon after, outracing the Crimson defense down the length of the field and scoring on a helpless Donahoe.

The two breakaway goals illustrate the difficulty the Crimson defense has had in stopping agile forwards all season.

"We were a little frantic, I think," freshman middie Genevieve Chelius said. "When we settled down, we started to play a lot better."

"It's our transition game," Olken said. "We don't make the switch from offense to defense quickly enough."

Olken herself was a terror on the field, playing ferocious offense and defense in her 50 minutes of play.

Minkus also made her presence felt during her time on the field. In the first half, she was robbed of three potential goals on sensational saves by Cook.

"Their goalie played well," Minkus said. "But we need to be more focused."

The Crimson offense, led by Minkus, Johnston and Uustal, has been troubled by poor shot selection in the past, often failing to challenge the opposing goalie.

Against B.C., the team showed a statistical improvement in this area, recording 20 shots on goal and forcing Cook to make 13 saves.

Minkus, however, did not see any difference.

"We have to take more quality shots," she said. "Quantity is not the most important thing.

"We have to put the ball in the corner of the net, not the trees."

In comparison, B.C. shot 21 times on goal, but Donahoe was only forced to make nine saves.

Many of those saves were at point-blank range, as the Eagles penetrated the Crimson goal box with relative ease at times.

Feeney turned in a solid showing for the Eagles with five shots and a goal. The freshman middie was also largely responsible for the second goal of the game with her second-half slide-tackle of Donahoe.

Moreover, Feeney's lightning-quick breakaways prevented the Crimson defense from bringing its firepower to bear in the closing minutes of the game.
