ABOUT THE EXPLORERS:

- Michela Auguadro was largely untested throughout the contest but did have one save to earn the first shutout win of her career.
- Emily Banashefski recorded her second assist of the season on the initial corner kick that led to the goal, and paces the squad with six points (2 G, 2 A).
ABOUT THE RAMS:
