COACH’S COMMENTS
“… I thought we did a good job coming out after halftime with some inside presence with Kayla Jude which we needed, and then that opened up the outside shot for Finley, Sarah Jude and Asbury to knock down some three pointers.”
“… After we found out we were playing Tug in the first round we really didn’t change much, just tried to play our game.”
