HEAD COACH JANELL CRAYTON
"We played a really good second half, but we dug ourselves too big a hole. We came out flat that's a good team we played and they took advantage of it. It's hard not to just play with a good team, but play 14 points better."
"We fought hard in the end and I'm proud of that. I liked our determination, I liked our press. "
"Both Tania and Camary played hard. They've been a pleasure to coach, even if just for one year.
