Head Coach Katie Stannard was happy with her team's performance and spoke optimistically about her semifinal matchup, "Yesterday was a great team win and a fitting end to our last game at the HUB. The women were focused and moved the ball well and it didn't matter the combination on the floor, everyone was ready to go. We look forward to carrying that with us next weekend."
