COACH LLANES' QUOTE ON THE WIN: 
· "We were really excited to play this game, especially after a quick turnaround against JU. The girls really did a good job of focusing and scouting and they executed the game plan really well. They were super coachable today and willing to stay disciplined and committed throughout the game. We had a lot of players step up and not accept anything else other than a win and that was great to see."
