"We played very well today," said head coach Clint Wallman. " We did a good job of managing ourselves and very patient and those were two keys for us today. Each of the girls contributed to the success of the team. It was a very good team effort. I like where they are playing.
"They have a great mental game. They are choosing their shots well and giving themselves good opportunities to score and that is turning into some pretty good numbers. We want to do the same thing tomorrow to give ourselves a chance to be in the hunt."
