Coach's Corner

• "This was a nice win for us at home. Credit to Brandywine, they are a much better team than their record would indicate, and they are well coached. We did a good job of sticking to the game plan on both ends, and got contributions from several people. Alexa Osafo-Mensah walks away with another double-double, super efficient too. Alayna Day led our team's 16 steal effort with 5 of her own, along with the charges she took. Of course, having Zhymani Smith  back in the line up is important too. This game also came down to the little things that maybe don't show up on the stat sheet, and Amber Souffrant and Mara Johnson made plays for us today, giving us sparks we absolutely needed! Last 3 weeks of the regular season are upon us, so it's right back to business and eyes front heading into next week."  -Head Coach Travis Ponton
