"The girls played a very complete game and merited the win," said a pleased Marc Mounicot, head coach of the Martlets, who improved the preseason record 2-0-1 againsta CIS teams. "We displayed very strong defensive outplay, especially by our back three, who were rarely out of position. 听We allowed very few opportunities against a strong Toronto side. I asked for a strong tactical performance and that听was the case for the entire 90 minutes."
