“It was a tough game and the only highlight really was the fact that we won,” head coach Niya Butts said. “We lost our composure at the end which we cannot do going into conference play. At the end of the first half, they played zone defense, and instead of reacting as we should have, we were lost. We adjusted a little in the second half but we need to start putting more strings of good basketball together.”
