COACH’S COMMENTS
“… A very good team effort against Phelps, a lot of people stepped up when needed. The first half was a bit sluggish for both teams, but the second half was executed much better. I thought our defense in the second half was key, it led to a lot of transition points off of turnovers. We shot the ball well in the second half as well. We were a bit short handed, so everybody had to be ready when called upon. I’m proud of the girls for getting a good road win.”
