Coach's Corner
"It was a back and forth game as we expected it to be. It's tough to go on the road in the postseason and we've found ourself in that situation two years in a row, but I'm proud of the way we fought for 40 minutes and showed a ton of heart. I'm super proud of our seniors Kaylia Duncan, Kearah Henry, Terrae Lewis and Aida Barry and grateful for all they've done to help us elevate our program. We appreciate all the support we received from our campus community this season, and it's right back to work toward the future." - Head coach Travis Ponton.
