"While not our best effort in the first half today, we played extremely well in the second half. I need to give credit to Warren Wilson for making us play that way in the first half. They disrupted our game plan, but the ladies adjusted their focus at halftime and took care of business in the second half. This shows the growth of the team. Earlier in the year, we lose this game, but now our mindset is completely different. We now have to focus on finishing the season with three big games at home!"
Head Coach | Chad Mayes

After five long weeks of being on the road, and six competitions, Asbury will finally return home to Wilmore, Ky. to take on Campbellsville-Harrodsburg on February 8th for a 6 PM tip-off.
