"Super proud of the effort tonight. We have been working extremely hard on preparing our minds to push through fatigue and being able to perform when we are tired. Tonight we did just that. I felt like we actually got stronger as the game went on. We shot the ball well and mixed up the defensive assignments throughout the game, without making mistakes. Our shooting is steadily improving and that makes us a dangerous item."
Head Coach | Chad Mayes

"We came out a little slow in the first quarter, but we continued to keep the pressure up and that started our huge run in the second quarter. Overall, we played hard as a team and knocked down shots when we needed to. It was a great team win, and we are happy to be back at it tomorrow!"
Senior Captian | Jaclynn Ruble
