Coach Quote
"Tonight was a really good bounce back win on the road! The first half was a little rough defensively, but the second half was much better overall! Vic played a fantastic game tonight and shot the ball well. Brittany had a good game with the size southwestern threw at her it was an impressive game. KB, Maison, Ja'Kia, and Erika continued to have solid games. Tatum and Kalli gave us very important minutes as well. Big three game week next week.
