“The depth on this year’s team was highlighted Saturday as almost the entire roster played significant minutes in the two games played within a 12-hour window,” said Greyhounds coach Frank Dixon. “The girls played some of their best defensive soccer of the season holding Cathedral to two shots (one on goal) and Fishers to nine shots (three on goal). While the offense wasn’t as efficient as we would like in putting shots on goal, we did create some great chances. We just need to test the opponent’s goalkeeper more often.”
