We played efficient basketball once again. The first half we just didn’t get our perimeter shots to fall but again our legs were a bit tired from a hard fought game Tuesday. This was our third game in 7 days so we are slowly getting into game shape. We once again were very dominant on the glass on both ends. Once we got the ball moving on offense we were more effective attacking the basket and getting better looks. We now have a week to prepare for another big test in a highly ranked Ethan team. Great job Ladies on a great team effort!”
