"It wasn't our best performance, but I may be more proud of this win than any other to be honest. Anytime you can get a win against Alice Lloyd at their place you should be happy. They've had some players out that are now back, so we are very pleased with this win. We will get back to practice and work on some things and be ready to go this Saturday for the Ray Shouse Memorial game versus Welch College."
