Kelsey Hogan Quotes

General Comments
"We made some adjustments before the game, kind of stuck to the same game plan, taking their two best players out of the game, challenging some other returners for them to step up and they stepped up. They made shots and down the stretch we had too many droughts… I just think, too, that kind of shows our youth right there and especially playing back-to-back, but I do think even still today just the fight's there and there's still some good takeaways that we're going to continue to learn and grow on."

Looking Ahead to UMBC
"It's going to be an interesting trip, definitely this year. We're actually planning to make the trip on the bus, so it's a nice little bus trip for us. We're excited about it, it's another opportunity, just for us to hopefully rise up to. All about opportunities this year and continuing to get better."
