COACH’S COMMENTS
“… It’s nice to be back in the win column. I felt our girls battled in the second half and showed what they are capable of but had terrible starts. We gotta figure out how to get them ready and not dig ourselves such a hole. But I’m definitely glad we came out with these two wins and I’m hoping this momentum will give us a boost heading into the last half of the season. I was extremely proud of their effort and battle. We gotta have that dawg mentality every game.”
