Thoughts from Coach Berry
"The Firestorm ladies came to play tonight and to protect our home court. We played ACU basketball for 40 minutes and took care of business as we should. It was great team defense and great team offense."
"That was win number 19, now we get ready for number 20 on Saturday versus Life Pacific."
