Head coach Joe Dougherty said the win is a great way to start the season as Gloucester entered the game as the 11th ranked team in the area.
Reese Miller led the team offensively with two goals and one assist. Kaylee Hall and Charlotte Houtz also scored during the game. Houtz, Mackenzie Reece and Kamryn McDonough each recorded two assists in the game. Addy Jeffrey recorded an assist as well.
