Head Coach Richard Moodie:
"We are getting better and better every week. This was by far our best performance - start to finish. We really got to dig into the bench and got a lot of players on, which was important knowing we have a game in 48 hours. This is the only week we have to do this, but it's massive we got to empty the bench. I thought the girls were phenomenal. To travel a far way from Mobile and with the stress of class, it speaks volumes about these student-athletes. Proud of the team. On to Sunday we go."
