// HEAD COACH JANET CARL ON THE BEARCATS
"It was somewhat of a frustrating day today. Coming down the stretch, we gave away too many shots. I'm still proud of the team for fighting through adversity. We just have to quit overthinking and overtrying. We still are in reach of our outcome and position goals and we have to go out and fight until the end tomorrow."
