COACH'S QUOTE
"A difference of two halves, I don't know how you show up and don't show up. Quite concerning how we started the game, but there is positivity to how we finished the game. We are going to take a look at both of those and learn from it and got to change something," said Mayer Head Women's Basketball Coach Alisa Kresge. "We have a quick turnaround, and that's where we have to put our focus now."
