Coaches Thoughts:
Coach Floyd-Â Moji has been consistent on both ends of the floor all season, demonstrating her ability to make smart & effective plays while also assisting her teammates to create a dominating offense. We are going to continue looking forward to her aggressiveness on the court throughout the season.
Moving Symone into our starting lineup allows us to start off strong, as she is able to produce on both offense & defense. Her court awareness gives us an advantage; she is able to make quick decisions & does a great job with her shot selection.
Looking ahead to CSU, we will be going with the same lineup, but also looking to a few key members of our bench to step in & be a threat on the court.
Coach Kriss-Â I believe that our win happened simply because we wanted it. We worked hard on both ends of the floor together as a unit and we listened to the instructions of the coaches.
I believe this team is a team that faces a lot of challenges so when those things come we as a coaching staff stay disciplined and make the proper adjustments needed.
In preparation for this next game the goal is simply to correct some of the mistakes from our last game and continue to work hard and play together on both ends of the floor.
What's Next: The Women will take on Clarks Summit in a Home game 12/5 Tuesday at 6pm as they look for back-to-back wins!
