Here is what Coach Konya had to say about the women's performances today, "We worked through some things this fall, with injuries, etc. We'll be healthy in the spring, and we'll be ready to post the numbers that they are each capable of shooting. Quite honestly, we are better than we showed the fall, but you are what you score says you are for now, that should serve plenty of motivation between now and our spring season."
Up Next
This was the final competition for the Fall season for the Saints. Be sure to tune in during the Spring to see the Saints back in action.
