"It was another very frustrating night. We are losing games by wide margins. The girls are frustrated, the coaches are frustrated, and I am sure it is frustrating for fans watching our games. The girls are working hard and doing a lot of things right, but are often just a step out of position on defense, or execute on offense only to miss a short shot. These are correctable things and we will keep working to get better." -- Coach Zerlaut
