COMMENT FROM HEAD COACH ASHLEEN BRACEY
"So, it's March, right? And in March, records go right out the window. That's a team that we ran away with the game the previously two times that we've played them, and it's tough to beat a team three times. I think they really improved over the course of a season. So that's credit to Evansville, but I am proud of the way my young ladies battled, stuck together and I mean Evansville had their runs and we were always able to step up and get big stops down the stretch, which we definitely pride ourselves on,  I am really proud of the effort tonight."
