Quoteables:Â
"We have to be more intentional about valuing the basketball, our decision-making has to be better. Because we had some success in the first half getting the ball inside, I think we tried to force some things rather than letting the offense work and create for itself."Â -Head Coach
Erika Lang-Montgomery on her team's offense in the second half of Saturday's game against High Point.
