"She is really coming on strong, with a lot of hustle. She is doing the dirty work and leading by example," Leary said.

Berkery and Gaffney

Kleinfedler also lauded Berkery and Gaffney for their outstanding play.

"Liz played her normal outstanding game, and Becky scored a hat trick," said Kleinfelder.

Gaffney's final goal came with only :32 left to play.

Kleinfelder was pleased with the team's play, and by the season as a whole.

"We are right where we want to be in our development. We have made it through the first part of our season, and I am really proud of the way this team came to play against the University of New Hampshire," said Kleinfelder.
