Head Coach Kris Johnson

"It was a sloppy game all around and we had way too many turnovers. We fought hard but did not play smart. I was very proud of Tara Padgett and her fight today. We got a lot better this season with the best record since the 2008-09 season. So much to build on! Thank you seniors!"
