Brandi Fontaine: Today, I was extremely proud of the team and the effort that they put in. We asked them to come out and play with a lot of heart, a lot of desire, and just as one unit. We had not put together a game as one unit. Especially on the defensive side of things we wanted to make sure we came out with a strong mentality and worked together to try to deny opportunities for them. I think today is a turning point for our team and can be a turning point for us heading into the rest of our schedule and as we get ready for conference play. I am extremely proud of how we showed up and played today and could not have asked for a better performance overall.
