We played well, ” Rouge said. “We came into thinking that were just going to come and dominate them but I think we got it together at some points. We could have executed a little harder.”

“We were not exciting everything as well as we could have but I think we came together in the end and  took care of what we need too.” Nesbitt said.

Nesbitt was excited that all of her players contributed to the victory.

“I think we had a lot of players come off the bench and keep the level were it needed to be which is awesome …  a lot of speed and hustle of the bench.” Nesbitt said.
