Coach's Corner
"I thought it was a huge home win to round out the week. We knew it would start with our defense and our rebounding, and we came out and checked those boxes in a big way. We had balance offensively with four starters in double figures. Terrae had a superb effort with the double-double, and when we have Kay, Ke, and Norma stuffing the stat sheet like that, the results are going to follow. The energy in the field house has been awesome this entire home stand, so it's time to carry this momentum into February," head coach
Travis Ponton said after the game.
