"I thought it was a good look, it could have been worse, it could have been better. They did a good job taking away our first option."

Head Coach Marisa Moseley

"First I just want to acknowledge the historical day with Theresa Huff. Acknowledging her jersey retirement, bummed I wasn't out there to see her reaction as it went up into the rafters. She just came and spoke to the team for a little bit, talking about the energy and the effort they put forth in the game, and that her grandkids love the team and she will definitely continue to come back. That's what we want to make sure we do, that the legacy that we continue to pass on. Congratulation to her and we hope that her and her family enjoyed the day."

"Obviously not the outcome we wanted, but we just have to continue to move forward and clean up our turnovers, and there were some opportunities there to make winning players and we came up a little short."
