From Head Coach Travis McCorkle: Q: The first home contest that you won this year, tell me what you did differently and how it played out.
A: The girls were hungry for it were tired of draws at home. I felt like we had a good chance since WT moved their game and had one day less rest, so we knew it was going to be a battle. Our girls stood their ground today and felt like they played well today. Q: With games coming up against St. Mary's and UT Tyler, what can you look forward to ? A: Like what you said, we just have to build on what we have been doing we always need to get better if we play the way we have been playing I think we do well we need to try to get higher in the standings to be where we want to be at the end of the year.
