Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Just happy to see the girls go out and take care of business today. The girls came out focused early on and that really set the tone for them the rest of the way. Always like to get on and off the court when you can in tournament play so you can get back inside and rest up and start preparing for tomorrow."
