"We saw a really talented Bonaventure team today. Coach Stauffer has built a program with strong fundamentals and a lot of fight," said Head Coach Anne Harrington.
"We knew this game was going to be a challenge from start to finish. I'm really happy with how our team worked the problem and made adjustments throughout the entire game. We remained calm and kept grinding, trusting the person next to us. Our draw unit came in clutch today against one of the best in the country. Our team ride was critical in getting us the extra offensive possessions we needed in the fourth quarter."
