It was halftime at Springfield’s Halderman Field this afternoon and Conestoga senior Meghan McGillis was not happy with the way the Pioneers were playing.

The Pioneers were outscored in the first half, 7-1, with sophomore Emily Santana getting Springfield’s first three goals and senior Alex Poplawski adding a pair of scores before halftime.
