Coach Larry Boshell said, "I was very pleased with the level of intensity we started the game with. We were able to get some steals on the front and back of our press. The girls did a great job of being in the right place and anticipating and we got some steals and easy buckets. Heather had her best game in the middle of our press and hopefully, that carries over. Taylor, Kaylee, and Hope knocked down some threes for us. We were moving the ball offensively as they were doubling Katie in the post, and she still had double-digit points, and we hit several threes to help counteract that. It is nice to know that if they try to take away our post that our outside game is more than capable of making them pay. I do not feel we are one dimensional right now and hopefully, that keeps us playing in the postseason."
