QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH LINDSEY HUFFMAN:
"I'm really proud of our team's fight tonight. I can't fault their effort at all. They kept fighting and fighting. We got away from our offensive footprint, which was mostly due to Shorter's pressure. We will get back at it tomorrow and prepare to be at home vs. Converse."
