QUOTABLES
“We are looking forward to being back at home to play another conference game. Each game is an opportunity for us to build on our last performance and to continue to push our growth as a program. The task at hand is for each line to do their job in the game, to play a specific role for the bigger picture. We had a good few days of practice and I feel we have made strides tactically as a unit. This matchup should be an exciting one that will be supported by both opponents for our theme, which is breast cancer awareness. Any time we can get behind an important cause like this, we are happy to do so.” - Head Coach Michelle Demko
