Quotable: Head Coach Addy Miller
"It was so fun to spread the wealth. Everyone had a rebound, everyone had an assist, everyone had a steal, and everyone scored. That's a testament to how deep we are even though we had four that didn't play tonight. They played fast and they had fun. Their goal was to get as many assists as possible which shows how much they love each other."
Quotable: Freshman forward Harmony Laker
"We want to be a team that no one wants to play and we also have the joy of Jesus. So, knowing that we have that makes us all want to cheer each other on even more. That comes with cheering in the lows, cheering in the highs, and making sure we're staying consistent through everything. That comes with on the bench, on the floor, whatever we're doing making sure we're giving the glory to God and knowing that we're having fun together as a team."
