Thoughts from Coach Southern
"The women did a great job of bouncing back after a loss yesterday to start the road trip. Hope is sitting at fourth place in our conference so being able to sweep the matchup feels good. We will look forward to a little rest before retiring to Cali next weekend. Roll Storm."
