Coaches' Comments
"This conference weekend was a good learning experience for the girls and coaches. We had some good moments during the two days but will need to work on things in the next two weeks before facing our next set of conference games. I am looking forward to minimizing defensive mistakes and capitalizing on offensive opportunities this upcoming weekend."
