Thoughts From Coach Carlisle
"So proud of the girls for getting the win today. Our play was solid, but for me the biggest thing was just our attitude and our willingness to step out of our comfort zones. This might be the first match all year where we played like we have practiced. There is still plenty of work to do, but this was a huge step in the right direction!"
