Jamie-Lee Bamford was peppered with seven shots, but stood tall each time in turning away the attempts to lead Caldwell to a shutout win, as the Cougars kick-started their defense of its 2018 CACC title. Amber Raines (28th minute) and Sarah Costanza (38th min.) scored 10 minutes apart late in the first half, as it was all the offense the Cougars needed. Hailey McGee paced Post with a trio of shots.
