“We played pretty well for our first game of the season, even though we were missing a couple of players. Our defensive pressure was really effective and led to a lot of easy baskets. We did struggle with a few too many turnovers in the first half. However, we took much better care of the ball in the second half. I thought we had a nice, balanced scoring attack as well,” explained Head Coach Jay Klein.
