Thoughts From Coach Carlisle

"Unfortunately, we have had so many results this year similar to today.  We started slow and found ourselves trying to fight back against a good team and could not get it done.  We have to learn how to play free and not be afraid of making mistakes. The girls are doing all the right things at practice, but it is just not translating to matches. Hopefully we can figure something out over the next few weeks leading into the GSAC tournament."
