HEAD COACH ROBIN HARMONY
"I'm happy to have come back from a long break and get a win on the road. We went on a great run in the first quarter, but we need to learn how to keep our foot on the gas and dominate teams from start to finish. Deja and Tyler played outstanding today, with the help of a few others that stepped up as well. We have another long break ahead of us but look forward to keep working during that time and get better."
 
WHAT'S NEXT
The College will have a 14-day break but will return to action on Monday, Dec. 16 when it takes on UNCG at 6:30 p.m. ET at TD Arena.
