The 2021 campaign also began with a battle against the Herons. However, the Cardinals were on the losing end of a 5-4 double overtime thriller. The team will lean on Palma, along with four other 2021 All-Conference selections, Molly Fisher, Rileigh Luste, Sophia Trozzi and defensive player of the year, Selena Emery.
