COACH'S WORDS
"It was good to see we could rely on our defense when our shots aren't falling. I thought our bench did a phenomenal job bringing energy and getting us over the hump. This was a good TEAM win. Kid Kidwell was the leader we needed today! She gave the effort on both sides of the ball. I absolutely love coaching this young lady."
