"We shot the ball at lot better at their place, you're not going to win a lot of games shooting 28% from the field, 27% from three and 56% from the free throw line, that was trouble for us. Give them a lot of credit, their defensive intensity just took us out of the flow, the press gave us turnovers early and didn't allow us to get into our offense and that hurt us," -Head Coach
Kelsey Keizer.
