"Lindsay (Herbert) comes out and gives us a great start, she came out firing and that was great," said Head Coach Elaine Elliott. "Lauren (Beckman) has another great night for us overall, she did a good job on the boards and scored for us in the paint. Amy Ewert, as usual, was huge for us defensively on Thorn (Erin). Lori Red-Castagnetto had a nice second half and hit some good shots, Katherine McColl comes off the bench and she gives us an emotional lift and I think our three point guards did a nice job." said Elliott.
