Coach's Words
"Though I was disappointed with our offensive production, I was very pleased with our defensive effort vs a tough JSU team" said head coach
Jen Brown. "We will continue to build on that while looking to improve offensively. We must do a better job taking care of the ball. Kid Kidwell has been reliable on both ends of the floor. She was a huge lift for us on the offensive end today.
Jordyn Weaver gave great effort on the boards and
Kinley Brown is evolving into the spark this team needs."
