Head Coach Lauren Bennett said, "It was great to start off the 2022 season with a conference win against Webber. We have been working hard all preseason to implement some new offensive looks and concepts that we were able to see today. I was happy with how we picked up our energy and momentum and finished the game strong. I am looking forward to an exciting 2022 season and to hunt for another Mid South Conference Title and bid to the NAIA National Tournament.."
