Quotable

• "It was nice to get a win to close the weekend. We've been a little inconsistent so far. Jane (Feddersen) came in off the bench and really played well. I thought she gave us a spark. Sydney Cooper is coming around after missing most of preseason. She and Indigo are starting to get their timing down. We've just got to keep getting better. We're 0-0 again tomorrow." – Head Coach Jody Rogers
