"This team so far this year has started slow," said head coach Jennifer Smith. "That is something that we have to be conscious of and try to fix that. We need to figure out how to get going from the jump. We also started the third quarter slow, but we kept making adjustments. We keep pushing and they stay in it, and we're still learning each other and building our culture. I'm really proud of them."
