COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
What an incredible night. I felt like we played our best basketball all year. We were moving the ball great on offense and finding the open player all night long. We were in attack mode early and often. Defensively, we stuck to the game plan really well and contested everything from the rim all night long. Jade and Lexi had huge nights for us and when the Splash Sisters are going, everyone feeds off their energy.
