Quotable
> "I know the girls were tired after going into overtime on Friday, but at the end of the day we can't allow that to influence our decisions. We can't come out thinking that things are just going to happen, we have to make them happen. Dropping two in a row stings, but we can learn from this and use it as fuel moving forward. " – head coach Michelle Vittese
