Thoughts from Coach Briscoe:

"Tonight was a great battle. Master's put a lot of pressure on us with their blocks, but our girls continued to be aggressive. Our defense was working hard creating lots of point scoring opportunities for our offense. Even with the loss we are able to end on a good note of hard work and growth. Our program is one step closer towards our goals of being an elite program in our conference and the NAIA."
