COACH'S WORDS
"I couldn't be prouder of this group of young women" said head coach
Jen Brown. "We played great team defense which fueled our offense. It's not every day you hold a team scoreless for an entire quarter of basketball. Kid Kidwell played well this entire trip.
Adia Brisker had phenomenal energy on both sides of the ball today.
I love our commitment to the process. We will build on this & continue to move forward with our #EarnEverything mentality."
