Coach Zerlaut -- "We've been talking all year about needing better effort. We got that tonight. I was very proud of the girls tonight, despite coming up short on the scoreboard. It was a very physical game. We got into foul trouble early and faced a lot of adversity throughout the night. We definitely had our chances, and things looked pretty good when we built a 44-34 lead early in the 4th quarter. Credit to Whitehall for battling back from that deficit. The foul trouble ended up catching up with us with 3 players fouled out in regulation and getting outscored by seven points at the free throw line. We also had 29 turnovers. You don't usually have a chance to win with that many wasted possessions, but the girls continued to battle tonight and give themselves a chance. Unfortunately, we came up short."
