Q U O T E S
Head Coach Kathy Teichert
On the tournament ... "We didn't play well yesterday and that hurt us. We made some bad decisions and it cost us in the end. We need to regroup and come back strong in a couple of weeks."
On the weather ... "The weather I think was a factor, but we have to be able to play through those types of conditions, especially being a Midwest team."
Junior Cortney Reno
On the tournament ... "Yesterday we didn't put ourselves in the position we needed to. It's hard to make mistakes and then try to catch back up. The wet and cold conditions really did help either. But that is not an excuse. We just didn't do what we were supposed to. We have some time to re-focus ourselves and get back to playing better."
