Coach's Corner With Pam Oswald
It was good to see our team be able to have a strong game on the road against a very good team. Our players showed a lot of grit & resilience down the stretch while staying focused on the game plan. We had multiple people step up tonight for us on both ends of the floor - that was huge for us.
