On the Siena Game
"A loss is never satisfying for us, however, I feel that we executed our game plan for the majority of the game. Our defensive unit took our game plan seriously and committed to what we needed to do in order to be successful. Our attack was hungry for scoring opportunities and showed respect for our possessions. We had two key players out today, but our depth is capable of rising to the occasion. I want to highlight the consistent excellence of Alex Bunn in the cage, she kept us in when we needed to make adjustments."
- Head Coach Kristina Llanes
