Junior Chloe Zador is now the number one goalie, taking over for Stephanie Stuart who graduated. Zador made eight saves, six of those coming in the first half. “Chloe plays great,” she’s always on top of her game.” said Rafferty. “She tracks the ball well, she steps well, and she always has a good positive energy to the defense which we can really use since we’re so young. It’s nice to have her back there.”   Read the rest HERE
