Coach's Corner
Head Coach Pam Oswald said, "I feel we were much more disciplined and kept our composure during moments of adversity out on the court. It was good to see different people step up and some people have to play longer minutes, and some have to play different positions than normal in order to put us in an opportunity to win. I give my hats off to Caity Riley who went into adverse circumstances and kept her composure when they covered Dyson and was able to get the ball to Davis and then up to Felix to score."
