COACH'S QUOTE
" For us, this game was about the little details, the little challenges that we kept including throughout the game," said Mayer Women's Head Coach Alisa Kresge. "I thought for the most part we were disciplined on both sides of the ball, which was really important. There were a couple of times that we were casual, and they took advantage of that. Overall, I still think this was a great opportunity for us to learn."
