Women's Soccer rolls past Fleming 3-0

"Tonight we played a very hard fought game," said first year head coach

Just over 10 minutes later, it was the duo of Forrest and DeHaan again. DeHaan registered her second goal of the night, while Forrest finished with a three-point performance adding the game winning goal to go along with two assists.
In goal, fifth year starter
