Coach Gibbs' Comments
"I thought it was a really solid game. It was a really good bounce back game on the things we wanted to get better at from the first game of the season. I thought we saw and executed really well. We really wanted to get the ball inside and use our bigs and really pound the paint. I thought we started the game well with that; Emma responded really well by finishing inside and it really snowballed from there."
