HEAD COACH TAYO BAILEY-DUVALL
"I am so proud of the girl's fight and effort today, especially after our Friday match. We are a team of fighters who never give up, and I am proud of them.

Our ability to make adjustments when needed and come up with quality shots at tight moments are the reasons we won today."
