HEAR FROM COACH CONELY
"Big win today against Missouri S&T, really good program. I thought we got off to a slow start offensively in the first quarter… I thought we did a really good job cleaning it up at halftime. It was a great team effort. Grace Lomen, in her first official college game, with a double-double… Overall a great team effort. Really pleased with their performance tonight. We have a big game against Rockhurst tomorrow and we hope everyone will help us defend the den tomorrow at 2 o'clock!"
