Coach Jones Thoughts:
 
"I'm very proud of our team's resiliency tonight. We were down double digits in the 2nd quarter and were able to come back to make it a competitive game. Julianna Taylor led the way. Her competitiveness is her biggest strength and she put us on her back. Chelsea Henry did a great job getting into the paint and to the free throw line in the second half. We missed some shots down the stretch but it wasn't due to lack of effort. We'll have short memory and be ready to play Cortland tomorrow."
