“We came out very flat,” stated head coach Liz Ennis. “We put up shots too quickly and didn’t get back on defense quite a few times. PAC was very aggressive and rebounded extremely well. Unfortunately, we shot 23 percent from the field and just over 13 percent in three’s. You can’t win games when the ball won’t go through the basket. The girls put forth effort, but we were off on our shooting and could never get back into this one. Sometimes you’ve got to take a game like this as a learning experience and come back better the next time.”
