COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We had a slow start tonight but finally got going in the second quarter. I loved our energy and intensity on the defensive end. Our offense will come we just have to keep working on it. We have some younger players in new roles this season so it’ll take us some time to get into a good flow. I love how hard we played and we just have to keep improving every game.”
