TOP QUOTE
Head Coach Nick Cowell on the match…
“I thought Rogers State was a very, very strong team coming in here today. The first half was a very even game. In the second half we wore them down with our extra depth and fitness, and I thought once we did that, we were able to take advantage of our matchups. The first half was a little dodgy, but the in second half I thought we really showed how we can play.”
Sophomore India Wentz on her performance against Rogers State…
“We came out ready to fight. We really wanted to win this game because Rogers State was No. 1 in the conference. We’ve had a couple overtime games recently, so we just wanted to put it away and come out with the win today.”
