Her first score of her career came in the 43rd minute on a ball deftly flipped over the Husky goalie’s head. Freshman Aisha Price was credited with the assist. “It was actually a great goal, because we went from one end to the other, with a lot of people touching it before it actually ended up being a goal,” Leone said. “It showed...
