"Today was a hard-fought battle between two solid teams, unfortunately we are missing a number of starters and others not at 100% physically, remarked head coach Hope Clark.  I asked a number of players to impact our program in different roles today and be comfortable with being uncomfortable.  I am beyond proud of the effort and team first mentality that my players put out there today.  I am looking forward to having everyone back and healthy by the Region 8 tournament."
