" I was really pleased with our overall defensive performance this evening. I thought first half our shots didn't fall because we didn't get to attack the rim as much in transition and open up our three point shooting." said Head Coach Jamie Fisher "Second half we did a great job of mixing up our defenses and keeping Redlands out of rhythm and limiting them to one shot a possession which then triggered our offensive transition game that allowed us to get easy baskets." said Fisher

The Cowgirls will have a short turn around as they travel to Wilburton on Saturday evening at 5:30 pm to take on the Lady Mountainers of Eastern State College.
