"We weren't to sharp passing the ball, but we shot well early and Lori (Red-Castagnetto) took them out of their zone," said Head Coach Elaine Elliott. "All in all, we are really glad for the win and this was a game that we were concerned about. I give Wyoming a lot of credit, those kids played so hard. We did a lot better job in the second half and I'm happy for the win," said Elliott.
