When asked about the East Buc game, he says, “I was very proud of the kids with how hard they battled in this game. It’s tough to win on the road in this league and having to do it on back to back nights was a tough challenge. We had to dig ourselves out of holes on multiple occasions in this game. We gave ourselves a chance to win at the end, unfortunately, we came up just short. We have to continue to cut down on our turnovers and get possessions of offense. The regular season is behind us now. Everyone has the same record. We need to continue to work to get better in practice.” Point leaders were Bianka Ronnebaum, 20; Grace Richter, 16; and Leah Reicher, 8.
