Twelve minutes later, Weisman added another goal off an assist from Margolius.
“It was pretty fast-paced, especially toward the end of the second half,” Fleischman said. “We were just really able to use our fitness, our subs, and our legs to maintain control of the tempo.”
But Brown had its fair share of opportunities as well.
“They’re really good at transition and they have some strong shooters, so we knew we had to take care of them, which our backs did really well,” Fleischman said.
Fleischman also gave props to the fans.
“[They] really helped the momentum in our favor, and we loved the support,” she said.
The team is looking forward to next Saturday’s game against Princeton.
“We know that we have to take every game one at a time and that every game is important,” Fleischman said. “If we play our game, we’re playing to our strengths; it doesn’t matter who we are playing; we’ll come out on top.”
Johnson said that the team views every opponent in the same light.
“The mentality we have this year is not to really think about the Ivy League—it’s just one step at a time,” she said. “Every week we prepare for the next game and we go into that weekend and as soon as that game’s over it’s just another game the next week so that’s really how we’ve been approaching it.”
This week, the team plans to stick to what they’ve got.
“[We’re going to] just keep focusing on us and doing what we do best,” Fleischman said. “That’s all that really matters.”
