Thoughts from Coach:

After the game, Head Coach Rusty Rogers said, "Very encouraging to win the game by 23 points despite shooting so poorly! We found a new way to win and that's a credit to the growth of our team. We played solid defense, especially in the full court, and rebounded extremely well. I'm really excited about that as we have relied so heavily on our three point shooting in our prior victories."
