Quotable: Head Coach Addy Miller
"I was extremely proud of the way we played the first 20 minutes. We played at a high level on both ends of the floor. But, much like last Saturday, after building a 14-point lead in the third quarter, we couldn't maintain the momentum. We got tight, lost our defensive focus on the scout, and we are not going to win many games when we give up 58 points in a half."
Five Facts:
- CU outrebounded the Storm, 37-34, with Sellars and Jenna Sandel getting seven boards apiece.
- Chloe Downing dished out a game-high five assists.
- Lake Erie shot 50 percent in the fourth quarter and converted 18-of-22 free throws.
