Post-Match Quotes
Head Coach Laura "Bird" Kuhn
On Morgan Christon's career high performance…
"It's nice to see her step up and play six rotations for us. I think our team as a whole needs to start buying into each other and investing in what we're doing. It come down to the core of belief when they are out there competing together."

On Allison Fields' leadership…
"Allison Fields came in tonight and did her job. That role for her is huge. She is the heart and soul of this program and I love when she gets in there. She can compete and add a spark to our team, but again as a team, they need to pull it together and do that as a unit, not just one or two people."

On finishing the fall slate and moving forward to the spring…
"We have work to do over the break. The biggest part of our season is in the spring, so we have a lot of work to do. We'll come back and get ready to compete."
