Fellow freshman Delia Brimmer (Simsbury, CT / Simsbury HS) played extremely well on the wing while sophomore Natasha McFadden (Lynn, MA / Lynn Technical HS) and junior Gisele Byamana (Newton, MA / Newton South HS) continue to contribute on both ends of the field. Junior Ivana Viviano (Springfield, MA / Cathedral HS) overcame a slight groin injury to provide help for Villemaire on the offensive front.
