Coach's Corner
Head Coach Dante Calabria said "As far as execution goes, I thought this was one of our best games of the season. We were able to get the ball inside when we needed to, run our offense, and take good shots. We also did a great job defensively as we were able to slow them down in their attack. It feels good to stop the bleeding after a few rough games, and it is always nice to get back on the right track with a win, and we are looking forward to 2018."
