Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Been waiting for this match. After last Thursday, having the light down we did, it's been a long week training and preparing and just ready to get the bad taste out of our mouth and go back to competing. We made some adjustments this week and the girls know what their expectations are, and how they need to execute from the beginning tomorrow. Of course, with it being a crosstown match, the girls will take pride in this, and I do understand they need to start strong out of the gate."
