COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Disappointed that we couldn’t pull out the victory but very proud of our girls for not folding in the first half after we fell behind – and fighting back to take the lead and get it to OT to give ourselves a chance to win the game. We showed some real grit after the week we have endured.”
