WORDS FROM THE WARHAWKS

"We had great production from everybody and I'm proud of the way we fought. We had three freshmen that played valuable minutes," interim head women's basketball coach Steve Kenner said. "Lilly Parke made some big shots and that is a really good sign for our team. Our freshmen were thrown into the fire, and we had great contributions from everyone. We played well on the road against a really solid Division I opponent."
