THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH KAITLYN HAFDELL
-
Thoughts on today's game: "It wasn't the score we were looking for but we did everything right. Our hustle was there and our concepts were the right choices. Unfortunately, Kutztown capitalized on the opportunities they were given, but we did not make it easy for them. We made them work hard for every point they earned. And every point we earned was a team effort. I was proud of how we played today."
