Quotables
"What a first quarter. The challenge for the squad was how to continue to grow our connections with one another. How do we disperse breaking lines through the right, middle and left? The flow of the game really accentuated our strengths, and then really allowed us the opportunity to have different looks with Head Coach Jen Averill
