What Coach Mallori Gibson-Rossi has to say
"I'm very proud of how our team battled tonight. Rachel made a big impact for us. She played an outstanding game, but her poise and confidence made all the difference. Krista, Bre, and Ana took charge of our defense which helped us maintain energy through long rallies.
After the match last night, we talked about how each individual can make small changes to make a big impact on the outcome of our match. The team listened and responded to the call to action."
