Quotable
  • "We came out with a lot of energy in the first match today and we just weren't able to match that tonight. Kalah and Jessica are playing well, but we're missing a couple of pieces right now, waiting for people to get healthy. We're getting there and we're going to get better, but it just takes time. We decided to play a tough schedule this year, so we knew we were going to take some lumps early. We'll get there." – Head Coach Jody Rogers
