COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
I'm super proud of this team. We were a little too fired up to start this game after a big win from our men's basketball team, but we settled in and dug ourselves out of a hole. We shared the ball really well on offense and we made everything tough on defense. I think this was our best performance as a team all year and tourney time is when you want to be playing your best basketball.
