Coach's Corner
"Let me start off by saying I am really proud of the ladies today in the way they competed," stated head coach Daniel Finn. "Throughout the match they battled a lot of adversity and came through on the top end of it all. The way the ladies competed today and got a solid win over a solid team was a huge step in the right direction. We can't rest on our laurels from today though. Tomorrow will be a big test and the ladies are certainly looking forward to it."
