Quotes from Coach Goodman
"We let the result of the ball not going in the basket frustrate us. We were executing well and had good looks. Poor shooting happens sometimes, and we have to avoid let that take away from our defensive game plan."
"We had people playing different and new roles due to Covid protocols and are a young team that continues to battle through adversity. Due to our incredible attitudes and character we always bounce back from a setback."
