We had a lot of diversity thrown at us right before the game started, which caused us to change the line-up during warm-ups, said Coach Brown. "We definitely have areas to improve upon and will be focusing on those things in preparation for our upcoming conference matches. I was very proud of the girls for pulling together to do what it takes to win, even when we were struggling with our overall play. They have worked very hard as a team on our team culture, attitude, work ethic and team trust. This work really paid off against Farson as they were able to work together to dig out of a tough situation and still get the first conference win."
