Game Summary
We started out on fire shooting the ball in the first quarter. For as hot as we were then, we were as cold in the second quarter. We took good shots, just couldn't get them to fall. We let Herring get some really good looks in the second quarter mainly because we were not getting back on defense and when you are as good as she is, she made us pay. We came out in the third quarter with more intensity and it paid off for us in the end. We got another great effort from our whole team, we had a lot of girls contribute to the win tonight.
