Thoughts from Coach Briscoe
"We had a lot of girls filling into different roles this weekend and our athletes came together to make it happen. It was a team win with some strong stand out performances from people filling in the gap. Our defense kept us in the game while we had players off the bench contributing to our offensive effort. Focus remains the same moving forward. We have to stay humble and hungry."
