According to head coach Chanda Stebbins, many of the players were able to get into the game and prove themselves. Stebbins said the rebound margin for her team was impressive in the game as well.”

Offensively, Stebbins is looking to improve her player’s three-point shots. In contrast, Stebbins has been pleased with the team’s guard rebounding on the defensive side.
