"I am proud of the girls tonight," head coach Tori Bartels said. "They had a long bus ride and they came in ready to do work. Loyola was ready for us and made us make a few adjustments, but the girls never lost their forcus or poise, even when we trailed. They just kept pushing forward. I have watched this team really grow and flourish together and handle whatever adversity is thrown at them. They play for each other; no body cares who gets the glory. It's fun to watch!"
