COACHES COMMENTS
"Really happy to see us battle through some tough stretches tonight against an extremely physical and very good Francis Marion team and be able to come out of halftime and have a great 3rd quarter; I really thought our defense in the 3rd quarter made our offense a lot better. I'm extremely pleased to have Sherry Johnson back in the line up tonight after a being out a couple of weeks due to a concussion. She had a major impact on the boards and hit some really big shots for the team! Proud of how we had different players step up tonight at different times and at critical points in the game," said Head Coach Wendy Lee.
