Thoughts on the game: It was a really good game by both teams. Alyssa Lewis had a great game for the Trojanettes. She kept the Trojanettes in the game and also did a great job in the second half. Jil Baron also had a great job on the boards for the Trojanettes. For the Warriors, it was a great game by them. Cassidy Orzel and Nicole Silinskie had great games and were the reason why the Warriors were on the verge of knocking out the defending District Champions.
