Keys to the Game: Yale

I was really pleased with our performance against Columbia and getting our first win in the Ivy League for over 3 years. In what was a very tough and physical game, it was great to see the players dig deep and work extremely hard for each other. I believe the challenge against UPenn this week is going to be just as physical and therefore we will need the same determined mindset to ensure we stick to our game plan when the pressure comes on.
