“I thought we did some good things today. Obviously, we had the size advantage but we took advantage of it. I thought we ran the floor well too. Hannah and Sharon both had great games. We shared the ball well and had 30 assists. This was it, and now we are getting ready for the home opener on Nov. 6.”
