Thoughts from Coach Berry

"The Firestorm ladies worked through some adversity and some lackluster free throw shooting to move to 4-0. The big story of the night was Enders' three point shooting.  Seven for seven behind the arch, some from deep but all were no doubters, nothing but net."

"Benedictine-Mesa was physical, shot the ball well and was tough in the paint.  The score of this one definitely does not tell the story of how tough this game was.  But at the end of the day it was another win and we are continuing to improve.  Great win ladies!"

Up Next

On Friday and Saturday, the Firestorm will find themselves up in Great Falls, Montana, for a pair of games.  ACU will meet up with Montana State- Northern on Friday at 5:30 pm.
