COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Proud of our girls for sure, people have been down on them a little, not the true fans. I thought this might have been our most complete game of the year. We have played a tough schedule and St. Joe is a good team that beat us on Friday and the coaching staff does a good job with them. They are very talented. It was a good game tonight a lot like the game Friday when it was tied at halftime and they made some big three pointers down the stretch. Ava Gallion is a really good player.”
“… I thought we did some things the last two games that can help us the rest of the year. We worked on some stuff trying to use more ball handlers and they did a good job on Friday and tonight. Really proud of the effort that everyone gave including the bench they were into the game the whole time and keeping the energy up. Tough game at Wahama before coming back to Rebel Arena on Thursday and Saturday and we are looking forward to that.”
