FLASH QUOTES
"We prepare for every game one at a time and it's about the hard work we put in on the defensive end with the heart, desire and effort. I commend Wagner for the effort they put in. We have to go back to the drawing board to get back to the details of working hard on the defensive end and working together offensively." –
Head Coach Keila Whittington
"With those five games we were on a streak, but you have to take it game-by-game and not think about the past. Wagner came in hungry and worked hard tonight and that's what got them the win. They didn't stop fighting and we just couldn't get out of the hole."
– Senior Forward Jada Dapaa
