Post match comments by Jackets head coach Craig Jean, "It was a great first game and conference opener for us. We jumped on them pretty quick with Catherine Macnichol and Elena Miller eating up the edges and Ella King did a great job finishing. As a team we played solid, especially in the 1st half. We swung the ball through the back and had some creative give and go's up top that created scoring chances. A lot of girls made their yellow jackets debuts tonight and I am glad to have them. Hannah Moseley came up big when she was needed and it was a great first ever start in goal for her. Even though it was cold, it was a lot of fun. This is a great group of tough girls who play hard. We will get ready to face Louisburg Wednesday night in our home opener."
