QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
"Once again, the effort level was good and no doubt the girls are grinding hard. The quality of play is not close to what we have in mind but if we keep the right mindset and keep working, then we will eventually turn the corner and start producing the quality of play that's needed."
