"Really proud of the ladies this entire year, but especially this week," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "They have battled so much adversity this season and continued to find ways to put themselves in opportunities to be successful. It sucks that we couldn't get the job done today, but even when things seemed very gloomy, they fought until the very end. That speaks to this group and their mentality, which honestly got them to this point this year. This loss by no means defines the special year this group of ladies had. I'm very proud of them and they will be back next year better and stronger."
