Quotable
"I told her to have fun and she had alot of fun tonight. I'm just really proud of her. She's worked so hard. She's not an orthodox player. She's got signs of Lily Grenci in her. She's just a tough, hard nosed kid that has it where it counts. She has a big heart and she's just alot of fun to coach." -Head coach Ali Jaques
