Thoughts from Coach Keller-Galley
"Grand Canyon is a very good team that is ranked in the top 20 of the NCAA D1. I was happy to see our fight even with the obvious height difference between our teams. Tomorrow is a new day and I'm looking forward to another opportunity to see these girls compete and learn"
