Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Well, time to fire it back up again. Lynn has an extremely strong team this year as shown by that No. 6 national ranking. I would expect nothing less than another battle again tomorrow. The girls are prepared, they know what's in front of them, and regardless of the short turnaround, will be ready to compete tomorrow.
