Emily Boggus added a final dagger to the Hornets as she scored in the 89th minute pushing the final score to 5-0 in favor of the Blue Hose.

The highlight of today's match was junior goalkeeper Kylee Hathaway getting 11 saves.

"We plan to go back to the drawing board on defense again, I thought we kind of found some things early in the season but some cracks are starting to get through the wall." Coach Smith said.
