FROM COACH
"I am so happy with the way our girls are playing. To lose to DeSales the first time around by 44 to then lose tonight by 7, is a victory in its own. We are tough and play with so much heart and that is something that needs to stay consistent and always be known. We are not backing down. We are building up." - Head Coach Melissa Brooks
