Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"This has been a really tough trip for the girls. We haven't been healthy since the day we arrived in Ohio and as much as we don't want to make excuses the reality is we just haven't been able to have our normal team out there this week. I'm so proud of the girls for continuing to fight and battle with everything they have, I know it's been frustrating for them not being able to be at their best, but the results definitely don't tell the whole story. We still have one more opportunity tomorrow to get a good win and I'm hoping we can finally be closer to our best."

Up Next
ACU will have their final game in the UNOH Spring Invite on Friday against Goshen College at 10am.
