FROM COACH KOTH
"Today was a much better day for our team. It appeared we were more relaxed and in turn we competed and executed at a much higher level. It was really nice to see some of the individual development of some of our young players. We had some very nice performances particularly in the middle where Michelle Asiedu, Mikayla Shell and Grace Frazee were dominating against an NCAA Tournament team from a season ago. As long as we continue to work hard, I like where this team is headed."

UP NEXT
WSU will begin GLIAC play next weekend beginning with a match at Grand Valley State on Friday at 7 PM.
