“Morse had a good aggressive start against us tonight,” said Camden Hills head coach Wade Ward. “We started flat tonight; it took our girls some time to get their stick where they wanted them. The field feels big and we found ourselves not controlling the possession well enough not to be running back and fourth; together with Morse coming at the girls with some elevated energy it took our girls the first part of the first half to gather and settle in.” 

All in all, the Windjammers were able to find its rhythm in the second half. 

“Our girls have been doing a good job of taking in corrections at breaks and half time and implementing them as they get back on the field,” said Ward.
