Coach's Corner
- "It was a really big win for us against a well-coached team with a high powered offense. We knew our defense had to be superb, and once again it was. We got big stops, rebounded the ball, and handled their pressure to score with composure. The rebounding numbers were a huge factor, led by Alexa Osafo-Mensah with 15 as part of her double-double. Kaylia Duncan showed once again the toughness of a 5th year senior leader, and then everyone else did what they do best. When you have toughness and have confidence in yourself and your teammates, good things happen." - Head Coach Travis Ponton.
