WORDS FROM COACH

When Speaking to head coach, Ali Bouman, she stated "I think we're a young team that has to battle the roller coaster of a basketball game a little bit better. Through hustling harder for each other, buying into what we're doing on offense and being the person that wants to step up and attack, and not wait for our teammate to do what we should be doing. We have the people, we've seen it, that we can do the things that are necessary." Ali ended her statement by saying "We're playing a very tough non-conference schedule. These teams, like Wayne State, are very well coached and are seasoned teams. We have to keep buying into who we are and our fundamentals."
