COACH'S CORNER:

• "It was a real shame that we could not build on the first half performance, but fitness let us down. That surprised me as it is something we have been working hard on, but we were running on empty at the end of the game," head coach Peter Lang said, but noted that "Some players really shone through though, the captains Bridget Kahele and Kayla Clark led the charge, Emma continues to improve each game, and Aohili Latu was ferocious in attack, but the most outstanding player this week was Hilaria Lymas who not only scored, but also made some spectacular try saving tackles and was active and hungry in the breakdown."

UP NEXT:

• The Yellow Jackets return to the Keystone State to battle West Chester University on Saturday, September 23. Kickoff is slated for 11 a.m.
