Women’s Basketball Coach :

We were not mentally or physically tough enough to fend off a very aggressive Malaspina team. We fell short in scoring right from the start. In the last six minutes of play we attempted a comeback narrowing the score to 52-50 but it was too late to again steal a win.

Women’s Basketball Student-Athlete Mandy Trenholm :

We were not prepared for this game; we made mental errors and bad choices. We allowed Malaspina to set the tempo of the game demonstrating their will to win over ours. When we finally decided to show up and play it was too little too late. We will lean form our mistakes and come out harder next time. We need to learn to be consistent throughout a whole game and not just in the last quarter.
