Coach's Corner
Head Coach Pam Oswald said," Overall I thought it was a terrific team effort. Everyone on the team was connected and together. We put four quarters together and played a complete game. To get 44 points from the bench was good to see as people continue to grow in their roles. I feel that we have a team that is understanding of the complete team process, no matter who it is, everyone is genially happy to work together for one goal."
