Quotables
"We just came out flat in the first quarter. That first quarter really gave us a lot of problems to solve. There were too many problems to solve once we settled down in the second quarter. In the third and fourth quarters, we made some adjustments to our outlet passing. We found greater success and some players really put together some positive combinations and clips. I know that the squad is frustrated with the result. We need to focus on where there were some positives and where people stepped up big today." - head coach Jen Averill
