"I just thought for an opening game, everybody did a pretty good job," North Hagerstown coach Rick Aleshire. "We have still got some things to work on, defensively. All in all, a win is a win. We got the lead early and the girls played well defensively to hold on to the lead. We knew that John Weimer was going to have his girls prepared. I thought that Williamsport played great tonight."
Williamsport's only point came on an unassisted goal by Meggan McGill with 18:55 left in the second half.
