QUOTED:
Yolisha Jackson, Head Coach:
- "I'm super proud of our fight on the road tonight after being down as many points as we were. We've got a few lessons to learn from this – that we've got to get better from the free throw line and that we've got to be more disciplined in our defensive principles. We definitely didn't want to learn them this way, with the type of ending that we had, but we learned some valuable lessons that will help us as we move into conference play>'
