IN SHORT
The Cougars were in control throughout much of this one, as Chatham saw six players score at least one goal. Chatham took an 8-2 lead into halftime and never looked back, thanks in large part to an impressive offensive day from Cat McCutcheon, Kelsey Perselay and Jaclyn Leto, who all scored multiple times. The Cougar defense held Madison to just five goals, leading the way to their tenth win of the season.

 THEY SAID IT
“I think they played really well today. The one thing that I really liked about their play today was that they all supported one another and they played well together as a team. The defense did a good job, allowing only five goals is pretty good, and they also did a real good job if something happened, just getting right back on it.” –Head Coach Deb Marriott
