Coaches Corner:
Head Coach Jeff Caha commented after the game, "I am really proud of our girls tonight. I thought we were aggressive in the first half and attacked their zone. Once they went to man we slowed a bit and stopped attacking. Overall we really looked for each other and did a great job of helping each other be more effective. We are improving and I'm excited that we go on the road and have two more games this week to build on."
