Quotable
> "Our backs were against the wall, but the ladies found a way to pull us ou of it. This is a deeply moving experience for them, because they know that no matter what they are capable of greatness. We weren't really connected in the first half, but we were able to turn it around and see impactful performances as a group. Overall, they fought for each other and did this together." – head coach Michelle Vittese
