Head Coach April VanAssche says, "Another opportunity for us today to sort out our play as a team. We definitely ironed out some different things in the second half, and we are very much looking forward to our next game to continue to build off of these last two games and hopefully start to find the net with some goals. The team worked hard, and they are continuing to come together on the field."

The Eagles play in Newberg, OR, tomorrow at 12:00 pm against George Fox.
