“We came out and were off our game a little,” stated head coach Katrina TerHark. “We had chances to pull ahead, or we had the lead and needed to keep the lead. We’ve been working on playing and practicing to be consistent. We know what we need to do and we have the skills. We just had too many unforced errors to win. For us not playing well, we still had the opportunity to get the win.”
