QUOTING HEAD COACH STACEY BRUNNER-JONES
"I am completely embarrassed by our performance tonight. I am disappointed in our effort and confused by the lack of toughness, especially in the fourth quarter. I know we are a young team and we are only a few games into the season, but the way we played in the final minutes confuses me. It was just embarrassing. I do want to thank all of our professors and staff who showed up tonight to support us and what they saw on the court isn't the team we are. Their support means a lot to our program."
