QUOTABLES
"We had a great evening of practice working on some adjustments in response to our game in Blacksburg, VA and also preparing for UNC Greensboro on Monday night. After looking at the film, I was pleased with the majority of our play in the first half and the beginning of the second half. There are certainly some things to build on going forward we just need to sustain aggressive play longer. We are excited to have a fairly quick turn around after a disappointing fourth quarter in our first outing so we can show improvement. It will be another tough test for us on the road facing a new coach and a new system at UNCG. We are looking forward to it."

—Head Coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick
