"We had another tough week in our SWC schedule, playing Platteville and RV back to back in the same week - again," said coach Shelby Rideout. "They are great teams, and they will make you work hard for every point".
"The frustrating part is that when our girls are at their best, they do earn those points, and they do compete to win. The first time we saw these two teams we did that and fought through some close games. But this week, that spark just wasn't there," Rideout said.
Part of that was being without a key players.
"We were still with our alternate line-up, giving Kara Crowley another few days to rest her leg," Rideout said. "Our passing was by far our glaring weakness, which played a big part in our offensive struggle all night. I anticipate having a full, healthy team back to finish out our conference play, and I'm very optimistic in their ability to turn things around."
