Quote:
"We played extremely tough. Campbellsville forced us into some costly mistakes during some points in the game that was the difference. They're the #1 team in the country for a reason. Lexie Lake hit some big 3's for them when we would get the lead cut down.
All we wanted was to have a chance to be in the fight at the end with them, prove we belong and possibly get the win. We came up short on the win, but I walked away feeling as if we fought hard to the very end. That's all you can hope for."
Team Record:
AU drops to 9-3 overall with the loss.
Up Next:
