Head Coach Ebony Tanner Postgame Comments

"I am extremely proud of the energy the Lady Falcons played with tonight. They executed the game plan on both ends of the court. 16 assists on 26 made baskets is proof that they played together in tonight's win. We will look to bring the same energy and game play to Wednesday's game. Go Falcons!"
