COMMENT FROM HEAD COACH ASHLEEN BRACEY
 
 
"Disappointed in the loss, St. Thomas is a great team. They have four really prominent scorers they rely on. The goal is to try and contain them. We didn't get that done. Offensively we did what we needed to do, we shot over 50 percent. We probably one of our best, most consistent offensive performances of the year. Defensively, we let their four kids score get theirs, #20 had a game. Disappointed in the loss, continue to get better, stay positive and continue to get better."
