COACH TAMI MILLER'S COMMENTS

What an exciting win for the Ravens [Wednesday]! We played with a lot of intensity and heart. It really was a battle of middles, and Taylor Ridge and Reece Kral stepped up in big ways. Lauren Dungan led the backcourt and had three other players with 20+ digs.

The AU football team and fans gave us a great home-court advantage, and we are so thankful for their support!
