QUOTABLE
TWU Head Coach Cheryl Jean-Paul
"Really proud of our battle tonight! We made some good adjustments and gave ourselves the opportunity to be in a competitive game which is what we were hoping to achieve. It's important for us to see ourselves playing playoff basketball and we had some good stretches of high-level team play. There will always be room to grow and our lack of experience showed at times but I'm excited to see the value of the tough games we've had in the second semester and how those have prepared us for what's next."
