“We did not play our best game tonight, which is what we always strive for. We had to learn how to battle through a less-than-perfect performance in the first half. I thought our effort and performance in the second half was positive, but we ran out of time. We will learn from it and get better.”
Caitlin McCartney has moved into 13th place in the UD record books with 159 career points. Jen Coyne (1984-87) is 12th with 160.
