Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Tana McKay
On the win and spring season…
"I'm really excited about today's win. It's been a short couple of weeks so we haven't had a lot of time to get back into the swing of things. It was a little bit of a cold-turkey situation but the girls handled it really well. Baylor's always a good team, so I'm happy with the fact that we can come out with a win. This sets a good tone for the rest of the season."
