COACH'S QUOTE
"It was really good to see them respond as a team, nobody taking it personally, everybody taking ownership and just doing their job. It's great to see we can build off the end of that game, but we must put 40 minutes together consistently," said Mayer Head Women's Basketball Coach Alisa Kresge. "When we are very fundamental and get the right person the ball at the right time, we can be a very balanced attack and that can be hard to defend."
