Coach's Words
"It was great getting everyone in tonight" said head coach
Jen Brown. "We've been focusing on ourselves and competing hard, so being able to put on a good show made me very proud. Of all their impressive performances today, Allie Johnson's stat-line won't look as "sexy", but she did a lot of little things well. I challenge her to be a leader, and I felt when we hit some adversity in the game, she did a great job talking to her teammates and keeping everyone in sync so we could execute.
