"I'm happy with the win," said Head Coach Beth Launiere. "I made a lot of substitutions tonight and I know it can affect some things, but you can't let it. We were still in the same system and we need to be able to handle substitutions. I think that is what threw us off in game three. We did some really good things, but we still need to get better at some areas. We needed to beat them in three games, good teams do that, and we didn't. That is what I'm disappointed in."
