FROM COACH BROWN
"I was extremely pleased with our team's defensive performance during the first three quarters. Mapp and Colvin gave us a much-needed spark off the bench to get us over the hump. Jordyn Weaver has been locked in on both sides of the ball. This group has a chance to be special once we put it all together."
