QUOTABLE
Head coach Teri Moren
"I thought there were a lot of really good moments this afternoon in the game. We expected them to play the zone. They did that for forty minutes. I thought we handled ourselves okay. We still turned it over way too much. A couple of those were charges. So, we keep that in mind. I liked the way we rebounded the ball certainly. I thought Ali Patberg did a tremendous job of running our basketball team this afternoon."
