Head Coach Pauline Love Comments
"(We've played) three games in four days. Our message to our players was to empty the tank and the word this week was toughness. I think they did their part tonight. It was a very challenging experience for everybody. I told them as a head coach, I've never experienced it, but they stepped up, emptied the tank tonight and secured the win. Everyone played their part on the stat line tonight. I'm very proud of them."
