The shutout was the fourth of Coron’s career.

Griffiths Guiding the Attack

Heidi Griffiths

Senior forward Heidi Griffiths (Clarence, NY/Clarence) has been strong up front for the Bulls, leading the team in goals, with four. Griffiths is also tied for tops on the team in points, with nine.

McPlaymaker

Brooke McCalla

Junior Brooke McCalla (Pickering, ON/Dunbarton) has established herself as a solid playmaker throughout her career, but this season, she has been extremely even in her distribution, notching three goals and three assists, tieing her for the team lead in points, with nine. McCalla added an assist over the weekend, dishing a pass to Caitlin Higgins (Lancaster, PA/Penn Manor) for the Bulls’ second goal against Howard.
