Head Coach Tim Bernero

"We knew we were going to be slightly challenged offensively after losing scoring last year. This group has to learn that certain things you do causes the result to be what it is. We have a lot of young people out there trying to find their way right now. They're trying to absorb information, and we're giving it to them pretty quickly. I thought Bridget Barrett did a great job, she made a couple of tough shots and helped us get on a bit of a roll offensively."
