On Coastal Carolina
"Today we needed to be more assertive on the 50/50 opportunities right off the draw, and we held back in the first half a little bit that caused the deficit. We were hoping our offensive leaders would step up more, where they would take calculated risks, but they fell short on being more assertive there. We'll learn from this and move on as we have two more really good opportunities before heading into conference play."
 - Head Coach Kristina Llanes
