QUOTING HEAD COACH MARK BATMAN
"Great response from the girls after Thursday. They were disappointed then, and I'm very happy for them today. They needed that for a little belief, especially our young players. We've asked them to improve incrementally each game and we did that defensively and offensively. Looking forward to the week and regrouping for next Sunday's home opener and Senior Day."
