Players Note
"After a tough loss on Saturday against Saint Elizabeth, I believe it humbled us to the point where we had to change a lot of things. Which was focusing on putting the ball in the basket and a lot of offensive transition points. This win was what we needed to move forward to compete against other teams. Hopefully we continue to grow and stay consistent with what we do best!" -Senior Kaylia Duncan
